I use a bubble chart to present data and some of the data lables are hidden in the chart, while others are visible:
The blue bubble with no visible label does have one (as all the others) and it appears when some series are excluded. So this is really a display preference (and not a missing label).
The labels visibility is configured via
plotOptions: {
bubble: {
minSize: 30
},
series: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '{point.service}'
},
animation: false
}
},
Is there a parameter which can force the visibility? (even if it may impair the readability which is, I guess, the reason for highcharts to hide some labels).
You need to set allowOverlap option as true.
allowOverlap: Boolean
Whether to allow data labels to overlap. To make the labels less
sensitive for overlapping, the dataLabels.padding can be set to 0.
Defaults to false.

In addition to this question, I would like to ask another question here in this thread.
How to add extra tears(ticks), in such a way, the green bar dataLabel, does stay inside plotting area, rather, going out of plotting area or made hidden. JSFIDDLE
There are lots of ways to do this. But quickest one is adding a max value to yAxis with using yAxis.max.
yAxis: {
allowDecimals: false,
max: 6000
},
Here is the working example: jsFiddle.
OR
You can use the combination of yAxis.tickAmount and yAxis.tickInterval like this;
yAxis: {
allowDecimals: false,
tickAmount: 10,
tickInterval: 1000
},
Here is the working example: jsFiddle.
Besides setting a new max property or trying a different combination of ticks, you can simply set overflow property with 'none' value and crop with false. This way you can display data labels outside the plot area.
API Reference:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions.series.dataLabels.overflow
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions.series.dataLabels.crop

I need to keep my chart under specific X and Y axis delimitation but I also need to allow overflow of my bubbles in my bubble chart. I noticed that hovering the bubble make it overflow, isn't it possible to force it permanently in some ways?
There is no default option to set minimum range without setting min or max. It is possible to set min/max to axes is chart's callback when default axis extremes are not small (min) or big (max) enough, but for bubble chart it might cause bubble to be partially cut (not fully visible).
You could add hidden scatter series that will hold min/max by its points, so if bubbles are on the edge chart will adjust itself to fit them.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/bp54a36z/16/
{
type: 'scatter',
showInLegend: false,
enableMouseTracking: false,
dataLabels: {
enabled: false
},
data: [[0.1,40],[10,-40]],
marker: {
enabled: false
}
}
I have a question about highchart's overlapping data labels. I have 2 spline data series and as you can see here http://jsfiddle.net/3E8V4/ some data labels are overlapping.
Question here is: is this overlapping even possible to prevent? If yes - how should I do it?
Code for plotoptions is like that:
plotOptions: {
spline: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: 'True',
crop: false,
overflow: 'none'
},
enableMouseTracking: false
}
},
You can use that plugin for repositioning dataLabels: http://jsfiddle.net/menXU/1/ It's not perfect, since works only for max 2 series and requires disabled animations, or you will see little delay when repositioning dataLabels.
How to use? Copy StaggerDataLabels and isLabelOnLabel functions, and then use StaggerDataLabels in load and redraw events for chart.
Sobis,
I don't have a answer that is exactly what you are expecting.
In this case what i would do is increase the max of yAxis by 10% of the maxi m of the data.
provide zoom in/out. that will enable the user to get a values on top of the points
zoomType: 'xy'
here is an example http://jsfiddle.net/3E8V4/1/
hope you will find it useful
Is there a programmatic way to provide axis labels for individual bars in a grouped bar chart in HighCharts?
Use case: The use case is when dealing with a graph that is both grouped and stacked. With these graphs it is hard to visually convey (without a tooltip) what the individual bars represent, unless they have individual labels.
Default behavior:
As an example see the HC demo for a stacked and grouped column graph, in which it might initially be unclear that the individual bars in each cluster represent different genders: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-stacked-and-grouped
Goal: Here is an illustration of what I am trying to achieve. Is it possible to do this programmatically, such as with a second x-axis? Perhaps another idea would be to use clever placement of the stack total, but of course that would get in the way of showing the actual stack total.
There are a few options which may help you.
Firstly, the stackLabels formatter allows you to determine what is in you label.
Secondly, veticalAlign:"bottom" allows you to position the labels at the bottom of the stack.
Thirdly, the 'y' option allows you to move the label relative to its default position.
The catch is that you can't seem to move the label outside of the chart plot area. One way round this is to start your y-axis at a negative value to give room for the labels. You can then move the position of the x-axis into the chart area.
http://jsfiddle.net/WY6QB/
xAxis: {
offset:-43,
labels:{
y:40
},
categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
},
stackLabels: {
verticalAlign:"bottom",
y:20,
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return this.stack;
}
}
The only thing left is to try to remove the spurious '-2' y axis point.
-EDIT-
If you set startOnTick to false, and give the y-axis min as -1.9, the spurious -2 point goes away.
min: -1.9,
startOnTick:false,
http://jsfiddle.net/V6Cp2/
It is not exactly the same result as your image, but it displays the stackLabels:
yAxis: {
...
stackLabels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function() {
return this.stack;
}
}
},
It displays the label at the top of the column.
Example
You can use grouping categories plugin.
I have an odd request. My boss wants me to improve an existing chart with a second axis.
The blue area must define the scale of the second axis, like a percentage of completion for the reading of the green area. The 100% value must be at the maximum of the blue area. I can collect the highest value of the blue area without any trouble, but I don't know how to set the properties of the second axis according to this value. The thing is that the second axis does not have any data associated, therefore, he isn't shown...
Any idea ?
PS : I tried to be as clear as possible, but maybe that was not the case. Don't hesitate to tell me if you need more explanations.
You can use axis.linkedTo to get a second axis and data formatters to get the data formatted as percentages.
I'm not modifying the series data, only changing the text shown in the second yAxis scale, the tooltip and the data labels.
yAxis: [{
// Default options
}, {
linkedTo: 0,
opposite: true,
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return formatPercent(this.value);
}
}
}]
