Hi all,

I would be happy to have some feedback from you regarding the labels handling. This feature will be implemented in the next 2.1.1 subversion. The idea is to collect your wishes and expectation to provide an extensive set of customization option. You can see below the 1st draft implementation of the drawLabel() function.

Thank you all for your support and ideas!
JD.

function re-used for the pIndicator module ;o)

Mixing it all together

Hi Jean-damien,

Wow, I came to the forums to ask about this very topic. I'm happy to see that you are already considering a 'Label' feature.

I am hoping that we could supply a series of 'Label' data strings (Series B). If this new series was flagged as a 'Label' type of series and tied to an existing data point series (Series A), then the chart classes could draw the appropriate Label strings along at the corresponding data points (given in Series A.)

I am very interested in this addition.

I am plotting some time series charts that also have unique 'events' occurring over time. It would really be great to label each event in the time series chart, to see how that event affected the charted values.

Thanks in advance,

For example ...

$myData->addPoints( array(5,7,6,6,5,4,2,0), "Serie1");
$myData->addPoints( array('Start', 'Reheated to 90C', null, null, 'Added 20 ml H20', null, null, 'Finished'), "Serie1Label");
$myData->setSerieAsLabels("Serie1", "Serie1Label");

It is currently possible to give an array of point an another array of labels :



Would it be enough for you?

JD.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for ...

I don't see a 'writeLabel' function in the code I have or in the docs, so I'm guessing it is still in development?

I'll help test once it is released!

Thanks,
Shane

Yes, I'd like to use that function.
On the graphs below of ships, I'd be able to label up the particular ships against the year (one of the ships on the graph is the Titanic so I'd like to label the graph).

I'll try to publish the next subrelease this week with the according doc update.

Thanks for your feedback ;o)

Kind regards,
JD.

i konw it's an old topic, but I didn't want to create a new one!

Is it possible to add other format optoins (most importantly Alpha) to the labels? How about position of the labels (i.e. you currently have 'top', it would be nice to have 'bottom', 'left', and 'right')
