TimeChart.settings.chartTypes.line.valueLabels

This section is defined by the type LinearChartSettingsValueLabels.
Introduced in version 1.11.0.

Controls if and how the value labels for each line is displayed on the chart.

Properties

allowOverlap: boolean

Whether to draw overlapping value labels or not

contentsFunction: (value: number, position: number) => string
Introduced in version 1.11.0.
Version 1.16.0: added the position parameter.

Prepare custom content to display in value label along with numeric value. If this callback is not defined, then floating value is formatted with two digits after the decimal point and integer values are formatted without decimal digits. If this callback returns null or undefined for the given value, it won't be created. Note that null values are never passed to the callback. Usage example:

contentsFunction: function(value) { return value.toFixed(2) + "$"; }
Parameters
value: number

The value which has to be formatted.

position: number

The horizontal position (timestamp for TimeChart and item index for FacetChart) where the label is located.

Return value
Data type: string

a string to display in value label.

enabled: boolean
Introduced in version 1.11.0.

Whether to show series data labels.

minFontSize: number
Introduced in version 1.11.0.
Version 1.15.6: improved handling for font size units other than px.

The font size will be used as defined in series.valueLabel.style. However, if the available space is too narrow, font size will be gradually reduced to the minimum font size. If the minimum font size still does not fit, the values won't be displayed.

Note that this value must match the units that is being used in the style.textStyle.font setting. For example, if the font is specified as 2em Arial then this should be adjusted to, for example, 0.5, since the default value is tailored for font sizes in pixels.

position: "outside" | "outsideTop" | "outsideBottom" | "aboveValue" | "value" | "belowValue" | "insideTopAuto" | "insideTop" | "insideCenter" | "insideBase"
Introduced in version 1.11.0.
Version 1.12.0: added support for insideTopAuto and all inside options now automatically reduce the font size.

Value label position in perspective to the series data point. Note that in all of the inside options automatically reduce the font size (based on minFontSize setting) in situations when the height of the column or line area does not provide enough room for full-size labels.
