jQuery PolarChart - ScatterSeries.label

An object defining the label configuration properties.

Type:

Object

Each series point can be accompanied by a text label that represents data related to the point. These are called series point labels. Use the label object's properties to set label properties for all chart series at once.

Specify the label object's properties within the commonSeriesSettings configuration object to set label properties for all chart series at once.

If you have several series of a single type, you can set label properties to the values specific to this series type using the corresponding object (area, line, etc.) within the commonSeriesSettings configuration object. The values that are set within series-type-specific configuration objects override the corresponding common values.

If you need to set a label property for an individual series, use the label object within the series object of the series array. The values that are set individually override the corresponding common values.

argumentFormat

Formats the point argument before it is displayed in the point label. To format the point value, use the format property.

Type:

Format

Default Value: undefined

NOTE
DevExtreme UI components provide a wide choice of predefined formats. If you are, however, going to use custom formats, link the Globalize library to your project. Learn how to do this from topics in the Installation section.

border

Specifies border properties for point labels.

Type:

Object

Use this object to make the borders of point labels visible/invisible and set up border properties such as color and width.

connector

Specifies connector properties for series point labels.

Type:

Object

A series point label can be placed separately, near the represented point. To make the relationship between a label and its respective point clear, use a connector. Set the connector's visibility and appearance properties using the connector object.

customizeText

Specifies a callback function that returns the text to be displayed by point labels.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:

The function's parameter has the following fields:

  • originalValue

  • size (for bubble series only)
    Specifies the size of the represented bubble as it is set in the data source.
