Highcharts -- exporting, setting dataLabel options - highcharts

I've using Highcharts 2.3.5. In the "exporting' object, under "chartOptions", I'm able to change some things when exporting, like the background color of the chart, but I haven't been able to enable the dataLabels nor change the marker size.
Here's an example, of what works and doesn't work. In this case, when exporting, I want to change the background color (which works) and make sure the data labels appear (which doesn't work) :
...
exporting : {
chartOptions : {
chart: { backgroundColor: '#ff0000'}, //this works
plotOptions: {
pie : {
dataLabels: {enabled: true} //this one doesn't work
}
}
}...
Am I missing something obvious?
j

$('#container1').highcharts({
exporting: {
chartOptions: { // specific options for the exported image
plotOptions: {
series: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
}
}
},
scale: 3,
fallbackToExportServer: false
},

Highcharts datalabels are overlapping

I have a pretty busy chart that I need to clean up the overlapping datalabels on. I have tried all of the Highcharts options and previous forum answers I can find without much success. Here is my code on JSfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/cs4djfut/4/
plotOptions: {
column: { dataLabels: { allowOverlap: true, crop: false, overflow: 'none', enabled: true, formatter: function () { return this.series.name; } }, } },
Tried a function to change the datalabel position but it only worked on the fist datalabel.

Show only first and last xAxis label in Highcharts

I would like to display only the first and the last label on my xAxis. This would give enough of a »frame« for the user. However, I don't succeed in it. I am working with a synchronized chart, which can be found here. Is the second and third »column« of (smaller) graphs, I am targeting at.
I tried to work with »startOnTick« and »endOnTick«, but it won't do it.
xAxis: {
crosshair: true,
events: {
setExtremes: syncExtremes
},
visible: i === 1,
showFirstlabel: true,
showLastlabel: true,
startOnTick: true,
endOnTick: true,
labels: {
step: 500,
format: '{value}'
}
},
What is the correct way to force Highcharts to display only first and last label?
Here is a short fiddle (don't know why the line does not appear; it shows the values with mouseover...).
Thanks for any hints.
You can use the xAxis.labels.formatter callback to show wanted ticks:
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/m2Ln8sdg/
xAxis: {
tickAmount: 10,
labels: {
formatter() {
if(this.isFirst || this.isLast) {
return this.value
} else {
return ''
}
}
}
},
API: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.labels.formatter
If you want to have more control about it (like hide label and tick) you can use the load callback method and proper logic to hide/show ticks:
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/fbcdskmv/
chart: {
events: {
load() {
let chart = this;
for (let i in chart.xAxis[0].ticks) {
//hide all
chart.xAxis[0].ticks[i].label.hide()
chart.xAxis[0].ticks[i].mark.hide()
// show first and last tick
if (chart.xAxis[0].ticks[i].isFirst || chart.xAxis[0].ticks[i].isLast) {
chart.xAxis[0].ticks[i].mark.show()
chart.xAxis[0].ticks[i].label.show()
}
}
}
}
API: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/chart.events.load
Or use the tickPositioner callback to achieve it: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.tickPositioner
The above answers are good, but i just wanted to show another approach which works just fine.
In my styling i do this;
.highcharts-xaxis-labels > text:not(:first-child):not(:last-child) {
visibility: hidden !important;
}
Summing up #luftikus143 and #Sebastian Wędzel comments:
const data = [
['Jan 2020', 167],
['Feb 2020', 170],
['Mar 2020', 172]
];
xAxis: {
type: 'category',
tickPositions: [0, data.length - 1]
}
Will output only the first and last labels. #martinethyl's workaround answer might need some extra tweaks specially if you have multiple data points. Suggestions (might not work well with smaller media types):
xAxis: {
type: 'category',
labels: {
rotation: 0,
x: 5, // Optional: moves labels along the x-axis
style: {
textOverflow: 'none', // Removes ellipsis
whiteSpace: 'nowrap', // Gets the label text in one line
},
},

Highchart: Bubble heading is not showing if two bubbles intersect or comes near one another in Bubble chart

In Highcharts Bubblechart if i two bubbles comes near one another or intersect one another, the name on top of one bubble is not displaying.
Is there a way to display both the bubble names.
In this the notice the two bubbles in top right enter code herehttp://jsfiddle.net/htb38096/
You can enable the allowOverlap property for data labels:
plotOptions: {
series: {
dataLabels: {
allowOverlap: true,
...
}
}
}
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/k23xLjmn/
API Reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/series.bubble.dataLabels.enabled
try this on dataLabels:
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
useHTML: true,
style: { textShadow: 'none',fontSize: '10px',color:'black' },
formatter: function() {
return this.point.name;
},
}

Show label for each bar in highcharts

How can I show labels for each bar in Highcharts as shown in the image below?
I think the solution you are looking is some thing like this.
This canbe achieved using the datalabels and placing them properly at the position you have desired to.
plotOptions: {
column: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
y: 0,
verticalAlign: 'bottom',
inside: true,
color: 'white',
formatter: function(e) {
return this.series.name
}
}
}
},
You can set overflow to 'none' and crop to false to be able to display data labels out of the area plot.
API Reference:
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions.series.dataLabels.crop
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/plotOptions.series.dataLabels.overflow

Highstocks how to use hidden navigator with async loading

Consider the Highstocks async data loading example. I want to hide the preview and show just the scroll bar. So I set enabled to false in the chart configuration:
navigator: {
enabled: false,
adaptToUpdatedData: false,
...
This will cause the adaptToUpdatedData option not to work as described, i.e., when zooming the width of the scroll bar will be always 100%. Is it possible to keep the same behavior of the demo while hiding the preview?
You could visually hide all the elements of the navigator instead of disabling it.
For example (JSFiddle):
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
navigator : {
adaptToUpdatedData: false,
height: 0,
handles: {
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
borderColor: 'transparent'
},
series : {
data : data
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: false
}
}
}
// ...
});
You might notice that the cursor still changes where the handles would be. If you want to get rid of this you could prevent the drawing of the handles all together.
For example (JSFiddle):
(function (H) {
H.wrap(H.Scroller.prototype, 'drawHandle', function (proceed, x, index) {
});
}(Highcharts));
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
navigator : {
adaptToUpdatedData: false,
height: 0,
series : {
data : data
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: false
}
}
}
// ...
});
