title: Fixed y-axis label width in Highcharts
body: <p>I'm building a data presentation where two Highcharts charts are stacked vertically and are intended to share the same x-axis units and alignment. Like so:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1615987/stacked_highcharts.png" alt="Stacked Highcharts"></p>
  
  <p>Notice that since the y-axis ranges are different for the two charts, the y-axis labels are different widths and thus the charts themselves are slightly different widths breaking the nice x-axis alignment. </p>
  
  <p>It would be great to be able to fix the width of the chart (or conversely the y-axis labels) to ensure the two charts line up. I explored the api and played a bit with setting styling directly on the various generated elements but no luck. It seems possible to maybe achieve this goal using a custom label formatter, but the stock formatter (as in if I define nothing custom) works quite well for abbreviating large numbers and such.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas as to how to fix the chart or y-axis label width?</p>
