Highcharts - how to toggle datalabels via js? - javascript

I would like to use Highcharts in such a way where clicking on a legend item enables datalabels for that particular category. Is this possible? I have tried the following to enable datalabels with no luck:
chart.series[0].data.dataLabels.enabled = true;
Here's a jsfiddle I am working with: http://jsfiddle.net/MXZgj/3/ (please search for legendItemClick to see where the applicable code is).
Thank you for your help!

This works:
chart.series[0].update({ dataLabels: { enabled:true }})

I ended up having to iterate over every point in the series and enable each individual data label.
series: {
events: {
legendItemClick: function(event) {
var selected = this.index;
var allSeries = this.chart.series;
$.each(allSeries, function(index, series) {
if (selected == index) {
$.each(series.points, function(i, point) {
point.update({
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
});
});
} else {
$.each(series.points, function(i, point) {
point.update({
dataLabels: {
enabled: false
}
});
});
}
});
return false;
}
}
}
Could use a bit of code cleanup, but works great as is.

Highcharts JS: barchart select the only selected bar without the rest in series

I want to inactive and set the gray color in all the rest of the unselected bars in the bar chart of highcharts JS, but the problem here is when I select a bar in the first serie for example, all the rest connected bars are selected on the rest of series, I want to select only the selected bar in the selected serie, and inactive all the rest of bars.

You should be able to achieve it by using the mouseOver & mouseOut callbacks and by updating the other points.
The important thing - we need to set the redraw flag as false in the point.update config to avoid the many redraws in the loops but trigger it only once.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/yd9ex6v2/
plotOptions: {
series: {
states: {
inactive: {
opacity: 1
}
},
point: {
events: {
mouseOver() {
const chart = this.series.chart;
chart.series.forEach(s => {
s.points.forEach(p => {
if (p.id !== this.id) {
p.update({
color: 'grey'
}, false, false)
}
})
});
chart.redraw();
},
mouseOut() {
const chart = this.series.chart;
chart.series.forEach(s => {
s.points.forEach(p => {
p.update({
color: s.color
}, false, false)
})
});
chart.redraw();
}
}
}
}
},

JavaScript Chart.js - Custom data formatting to display on tooltip

I have looked at various documentation and similar questions on here, but cannot seem to find the particular solution. Apologies if I have missed anything obvious or have repeated this question!
As a bit of background info, I have implemented 4 graphs using the Chart.js plugin and passed in the required data using PHP from a database. This is all working correctly and is fine.
My problem is I need to display the data in the tooltips as formatted data aka. as numeric with %. As an example, one of my data from database is -0.17222. I have formatted it as a percentage to display in my table and all is well. However, when setting the data for the chart.js bar graph, the data is obviously missing this formatting and displaying as the -0.17222 which I do not want.
Sorry, I wanted to post a picture, but my reputation is too rubbish!
I grab data from database, then set into my table:
var kpiRex = new Handsontable(example1, {
data: getRexData(),
Then I feed this data like so in the chart section:
data: kpiRex.getDataAtRow(3)
Any help would be great! I've been stuck on this for hours and it's probably something really simple I am overlooking.
For chart.js 2.0+, this has changed (no more tooltipTemplate/multiTooltipTemplate). For those that just want to access the current, unformatted value and start tweaking it, the default tooltip is the same as:
options: {
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
return tooltipItem.yLabel;
}
}
}
}
I.e., you can return modifications to tooltipItem.yLabel, which holds the y-axis value. In my case, I wanted to add a dollar sign, rounding, and thousands commas for a financial chart, so I used:
options: {
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
return "$" + Number(tooltipItem.yLabel).toFixed(0).replace(/./g, function(c, i, a) {
return i > 0 && c !== "." && (a.length - i) % 3 === 0 ? "," + c : c;
});
}
}
}
}
You want to specify a custom tooltip template in your chart options, like this :
// String - Template string for single tooltips
tooltipTemplate: "<%if (label){%><%=label %>: <%}%><%= value + ' %' %>",
// String - Template string for multiple tooltips
multiTooltipTemplate: "<%= value + ' %' %>",
This way you can add a '%' sign after your values if that's what you want.
Here's a jsfiddle to illustrate this.
Note that tooltipTemplate applies if you only have one dataset, multiTooltipTemplate applies if you have several datasets.
This options are mentioned in the global chart configuration section of the documentation. Do have a look, it's worth checking for all the other options that can be customized in there.
Note that Your datasets should only contain numeric values. (No % signs or other stuff there).
In chart.js 2.1.6, I did something like this (in typescript):
let that = this;
options = {
legend: {
display: false,
responsive: false
},
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
let account: Account = that.accounts[tooltipItem.index];
return account.accountNumber+":"+account.balance+"€";
}
}
}
}
You can give tooltipTemplate a function, and format the tooltip as you wish:
tooltipTemplate: function(v) {return someFunction(v.value);}
multiTooltipTemplate: function(v) {return someOtherFunction(v.value);}
Those given 'v' arguments contain lots of information besides the 'value' property. You can put a 'debugger' inside that function and inspect those yourself.
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: (tooltipItem, data) => {
// data for manipulation
return data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].data[tooltipItem.index];
},
},
},
This works perfectly fine with me. It takes label and format the value.
options: {
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
let label = data.labels[tooltipItem.index];
let value = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].data[tooltipItem.index];
return ' ' + label + ': ' + value + ' %';
}
}
}
}
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function (tooltipItem) {
return (new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
style: 'currency',
currency: 'USD',
})).format(tooltipItem.value);
}
}
}
In Chart.Js 2.8.0, the configuration for custom tooltips can be found here: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/configuration/tooltip.html#label-callback (Thanks to #prokaktus)
If you want to e.g. show some values with a prefix or postfix (In the example, the script adds a unit of kWh to the values in the chart), you could do this like:
options: {
rotation: 1 * Math.PI,
circumference: 1 * Math.PI,
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
console.log(data);
console.log(tooltipItem);
var label = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].data[tooltipItem.index] || '';
if (label) {
label += ' kWh';
}
return label;
}
}
}
}
An example fiddle is here, too: https://jsfiddle.net/y3petw58/1/
This is what my final options section looks like for chart.js version 2.8.0.
options: {
legend: {
display: false //Have this or else legend will display as undefined
},
scales: {
//This will show money for y-axis labels with format of $xx.xx
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
callback: function(value) {
return (new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
style: 'currency',
currency: 'USD',
})).format(value);
}
}
}]
},
//This will show money in tooltip with format of $xx.xx
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function (tooltipItem) {
return (new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
style: 'currency',
currency: 'USD',
})).format(tooltipItem.value);
}
}
}
}
I wanted to show money values for both the y-axis and the tooltip values that show up when you hover over them. This works to show $49.99 and values with zero cents (ex: $50.00)
The answers here did not work for me on Char.js 3.8.0. The tooltip options callbacks object has moved, apparently. Now it is under options.plugins.tooltip
https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/configuration/tooltip.html
Example for OP:
options: {
plugins: {
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: function (tooltipItem, data) {
console.log(data);
console.log(tooltipItem);
return tooltipItem.formattedValue + '%';
}
}
}
},
...
tooltips: {
enabled: true,
mode: 'single',
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItems, data) {
return data.datasets[tooltipItems.datasetIndex].label+": "+tooltipItems.yLabel;
}
}
}
You need to make use of Label Callback.
A common example to round data values, the following example rounds the data to two decimal places.
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: data,
options: {
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
var label = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].label || '';
if (label) {
label += ': ';
}
label += Math.round(tooltipItem.yLabel * 100) / 100;
return label;
}
}
}
}
});
Now let me write the scenario where I used the label callback functionality.
Let's start with logging the arguments of Label Callback function, you will see structure similar to this here datasets, array comprises of different lines you want to plot in the chart.
In my case it's 4, that's why length of datasets array is 4.
In my case, I had to perform some calculations on each dataset and have to identify the correct line, every-time I hover upon a line in a chart.
To differentiate different lines and manipulate the data of hovered tooltip based on the data of other lines I had to write this logic.
callbacks: {
label: function (tooltipItem, data) {
console.log('data', data);
console.log('tooltipItem', tooltipItem);
let updatedToolTip: number;
if (tooltipItem.datasetIndex == 0) {
updatedToolTip = tooltipItem.yLabel;
}
if (tooltipItem.datasetIndex == 1) {
updatedToolTip = tooltipItem.yLabel - data.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.index];
}
if (tooltipItem.datasetIndex == 2) {
updatedToolTip = tooltipItem.yLabel - data.datasets[1].data[tooltipItem.index];
}
if (tooltipItem.datasetIndex == 3) {
updatedToolTip = tooltipItem.yLabel - data.datasets[2].data[tooltipItem.index]
}
return updatedToolTip;
}
}
Above mentioned scenario will come handy, when you have to plot different lines in line-chart and manipulate tooltip of the hovered point of a line, based on the data of other point belonging to different line in the chart at the same index.

Filtering legend of a Highcharts by only visible series only in Export

I have an highchart and I create an export generated picture with the export function.
How can I make is so that the legend of the hidden series are not shown at all (I donøt want them greyed out) in the export?
I've tried this but it hides only the text, the symbol is still there.
exporting: { //the export button
type: 'image/jpeg',
chartOptions: {
legend: {
enabled: true,
itemHiddenStyle: {
display: 'none',
}
}
}
},...
I have also seen this answer: Filtering legend of a Highcharts by only visible series
but I need it done ONLY in export. That will remove it from the screen too.
In your case you will have empty item, better is using load event and destroy series which are not visible.
exporting: { //the export button
type: 'image/jpeg',
chartOptions: {
chart: {
events: {
load: function () {
var chart = this;
$.each(chart.series,function(i,serie) {
if(!serie.visible) {
serie.update({
showInLegend:false
});
}
});
}
}
}
}
},

How to display a multi-line title in a Highslide pop-up while using Highcharts?

I'm using Highcharts to display a chart and I'm using Highslide to display additional information in a pop-up when the user clicks on a point in the chart. However, I want to add additional information to the title/heading-text in the pop-up.
I've gotten Highslide to work in displaying basic information using the following code:
$(function () {
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
defaultSeriesType: 'line'
}
credits: {
enabled: false
}
plotOptions: {
series: {
cursor: 'pointer',
point: {
events: {
click: function() {
hs.htmlExpand(null, {
pageOrigin: {
x: this.pageX,
y: this.pageY
},
headingText: this.series.name,
maincontentText: Highcharts.dateFormat('%A, %b %e, %Y', this.x) +':<br/> '+
this.y +' visits',
width: 200
});
}
}
},
marker: {
lineWidth: 1
}
}
},
series: []
}
});
I've read through the API for Highslide and saw that you could use the 'heading' variable with the 'Expander.prototype.onAfterGetHeading' function, which I've displayed below, but I'm not sure how to implement it with Highcharts.
hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterGetHeading = function () {
this.heading.html = 'this.a.title';
}
HERE's a site that displays a pop-up with a multi-line title in a Highslide pop-up, as an example. However, keep in mind that I'm trying to implement this in Highcharts, possibly with dynamic text in the title.
Thanks.
Here’s a solution you can use with Highcharts: http://jsfiddle.net/roadrash/gd3xz/
Please note that this is the correct code to insert the anchor's title text in the heading, as an additional heading text:
hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterGetHeading = function (sender) {
if (sender.heading) {
sender.heading.innerHTML += this.a.title;
}
};
I’m not familiar with Highcharts, but I don’t think you can use this.a.title since a refers to the anchor tag. You can of course insert something else than this.a.title with the above code, as I've done in my demo.

How to disable legend click to stop pie slice from disappearing in Highcharts?

How to disable legend click to stop pie slice from disappearing in Highcharts??
See example here:
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/pie-legend
Can anyone help??
You do this by attaching a handler to the legendItemClick event and just returning false. This will prevent the default action which is to toggle the pie sector.
point: {
events: {
legendItemClick: function () {
return false; // <== returning false will cancel the default action
}
}
}
See this example http://jsfiddle.net/mfras3r/3vVGB/1/
pie: {
showInLegend: true,
allowPointSelect: false,
point:{
events : {
legendItemClick: function(e){
e.preventDefault();
}
}
}
}
pie: {
showInLegend: true,
allowPointSelect: false, // disable selected
}
