Data Labels
Data labels are the names of the data points that are displayed on the x-axis of a chart.
In the chart shown above Jan, Feb, Mar etc. are data labels.
This section explains:
Data Label Display Modes
With FusionCharts Suite XT, you can configure the arrangement and display properties for data labels depending on what suits your needs best. There are 5 different display modes to choose from.
The attribute used for setting the data label display mode is described below:
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Used to customize the alignment of data labels (x-axis labels). There are 5 options: |
Auto Mode
In this mode, the chart automatically chooses the most appropriate display mode for data labels - depending on space availability. If the number of data labels is greater than the available space, then the data labels are either truncated (with ellipses to indicate truncation), wrapped, or rotated.
On hovering over a truncated data label, a tooltip showing the full label text is displayed. The auto mode is active by default, but can be disabled by switching to an alternative label display mode.
A column 2D chart with data labels in auto mode looks like this:

Use this to show/hide labels of individual data values at the data level. This overrides the setting of the ‘showLabels’ attribute. |
Label Management: Line and Area Charts
With label management, you can adjust the canvas padding (the space between the canvas border and the position where the data plot begins and ends) to accommodate long labels in line and area charts. This ensures that the first and last x-axis labels are not rendered outside the canvas border and the labels don’t overlap each other.
To accommodate long labels, the chart automatically adjusts the right and left canvas margins. A line 2D chart with automatic canvas padding set for label management look like this:

Advanced x-axis label management has been implemented to achieve the following objectives:
-
All x-axis labels should get centrally aligned to the respective data-plots (columns, points on line charts etc.)
-
X-axis labels should not overlap each other
-
X-axis labels should not overlap with other chart objects such as legends or x-axis name
-
Long labels should not go outside the chart
-
Optimized truncation of longer labels and putting ellipses at the end
Advanced label management is not applicable to Bar, Pie, Doughnut, Marimekko, Zoom Line and Multi-series Combination 3D charts.
Customizing Data Label Properties
You can customize the cosmetic properties of data labels such as font, border, background, and alpha. Let us understand each of them in detail.
Font Properties
A column 2D chart with custom font, font-color and font-size of data labels looks like:
