JavaScript/jQuery Chart - crosshair.label

Configures the crosshair labels.

Type:

Crosshair labels appear on the chart axes when a user pauses on a series point. They display the argument and the value of this series point.

DevExtreme HTML5 Charts CrosshairLabels

There are two crosshair labels on a chart - one for each crosshair line, and the label object described here configures both. If you need to set properties individually for each label, use the label object within the crosshair.horizontalLine or crosshair.verticalLine object. Individual settings override common ones.

Because the crosshair labels are hidden by default, assign true to the label.visible field if you need them to be shown.
