label

Configures point labels.

Type:

Object

Declared in commonSeriesSettings, the label settings apply to all point labels in the chart. Declared in a series configuration object, the label settings apply only to the point labels that belong to this particular series. The series-specific label settings override the common ones.

  • customizeLabel - сustomizes the appearance of an individual point label.

alignment

Aligns point labels in relation to their points.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'center'
Accepted Values: 'center' | 'left' | 'right'

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the HorizontalAlignment enum. This enum accepts the following values: Left, Center and Right.

argumentFormat

Formats the point argument before it will be displayed in the point label.

Type:

Format

Default Value: undefined

Be default, a point label displays only the point value. Using the label.customizeText option, you can instruct the label to display the point argument as well. The argumentFormat option applies in this case only.

This option accepts an object whose fields are described in the format section. However, there is one more field available called argumentPrecision. This field accepts a number specifying how many digits after the decimal point to save in a value of a numeric format. See an example in the following code.

// 12.3456 --> 12.34
argumentFormat: {
    type: "fixedPoint",
    argumentPrecision: 2
}
NOTE
DevExtreme widgets 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.

Type:

Format

Default Value: undefined

This option accepts an object whose fields are described in the format section. However, there is one more field, called percentPrecision, which is available only to full-stacked-like series, where one point always has an absolute and a percentage value. The percentPrecision field specifies how many digits after the decimal point to save in the percentage value. See an example in the following code.

format: {
    type: "fixedPoint", // the format of absolute values
    precision: 1, // the precision of absolute values (123.456 --> 123.4)
    percentPrecision: 2 // the precision of percentage values (12.3456 % --> 12.34 %)
}
