title: HighCharts - Y-Axis padding in a bar chart
body: <p>I use a style of y-axis labels in which each number is placed, left-aligned, on top of its respective horizontal grid line, like in the image below.</p>
  
  <p>The only complication with this in HighCharts is that the axis labels will sometimes overlap with the first column in a column chart.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Updated demo:</strong> For an example, see this chart: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/NWsgz/1/">http://jsfiddle.net/NWsgz/1/</a></p>

  <p>I have tried to achieve this using <a href="http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#xAxis.minPadding"><code>xAxis.minpadding</code></a>, but that property seems to have no effect on column charts. Is there a way in Highcharts to get the effect I am going for? I could theoretically get the effect by making the bars very narrow, but I am looking for another solution.</p>
