HighCharts Place Label on Bar

rated 0 times [ 71] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 17219 / 11 Years ago, wed, july 17, 2013, 12:00:00

Given the below image - I would like to take the label from the legend for each column and print it on the column itself. I have not been able to find anything in the HighCharts API that will allow me to do this. Does anyone have any ideas or examples of something like this I could look at?

Thank you!

HighChart

EDIT

There is a better example of what I want to accomplish

I think that is easily discernible. The use case is these stats are displayed on large monitors around a call center. The legend is typically too small to read from any given distance.

Just try formatting the data label on a column chart, here is an example to get you started.

 $(function () {

        $('#container').highcharts({

            chart: {

                type: 'column'

            },

            xAxis: {

                categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

            },



            plotOptions: {

                series: {

                    dataLabels: {

                        enabled: true,

                        color: '#000',

                        style: {fontWeight: 'bolder'},

                        formatter: function() {return this.x + ': ' + this.y},

                        inside: true,

                        rotation: 270

                    },

                    pointPadding: 0.1,

                    groupPadding: 0

                }

            },



            series: [{

                data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]

            }]

        });

    });
