Set highcharts datalabel as dropdown list - highcharts

Question

It's possible to set the datalabel as a dropdown menu list?
The problem appear when i have more than six label on my charts, and they overflow from the container.

Answer 1

You want to display dataLabels for points only for one series, chosen by user via dropdown? In that case, simply update series with proper options: http://jsfiddle.net/qwPQj/1/
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'spline'
},
title: {
text: 'Various point on range year'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Example of Highcharts JS'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
month: '%e. %b',
year: '%b'
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'BOND'
},
min: 0
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
Highcharts.dateFormat('%e. %b', this.x) +': '+ this.y +' m';
}
},
series: [{

var selected = this.value;
var chart = $('#container').highcharts();
$(chart.series).each(function(i, e) {
e.update({
dataLabels: {
enabled: i == selected

}, false);
});
chart.redraw();
});
Note: You have errors in console, you should sort data for series by x-values ascending.
