Flot Data Labels

问题:

I'm trying to produce a line chart using Flot, but I want the data labels to show up on the chart - meaning, I want the value of each point to appear next to that point. I feel like this should be an option, but can't find it in the API. Am I just missing something, or does someone know a workaround?

Thanks in advance.

回答1:

Here is how I added the feature, including a pleasant animation effect:

var p = $.plot(...);

$.each(p.getData()[0].data, function(i, el){
  var o = p.pointOffset({x: el[0], y: el[1]});
  $('<div class="data-point-label">' + el[1] + '</div>').css( {
    position: 'absolute',
    left: o.left + 4,
    top: o.top - 43,
    display: 'none'
  }).appendTo(p.getPlaceholder()).fadeIn('slow');
});

You can move the position and display css to a stylesheet.

The feature you want is requested here in the Flot Google group. It doesn't look like it was ever implemented (there's nothing in the API about putting any labels inside the chart itself). I think that the answer to your question is that No, it's not possible at this time to show values next to certain points on lines inside the graph.

Ole Larson, head developer on Flot, mentioned that showing labels inside the chart is different than anything else on FLot and that they would have to think about how to extend the API / plot parameters to do it.

That said, you might want to go post a question on the Flot forum or make a suggestion on the bug-tracker for the new feature. Ole Larson is actually really good at getting back to all the questions, bugs, and suggestions himself.

If anyone else is looking for a quick solution, see this plugin:

Looks like the flot-valuelabels plugin is a fork of a previous flot plugin -- but the forked code renders the labels on the canvas. You can see a demo of what this looks like on the plugin's Github wiki page, here (it looks quite pleasing to the eye).

function redrawplot() {
   $('.tt1').remove();
   var points = plot.getData();
     var graphx = $('#placeholder').offset().left;
     graphx = graphx + 30; // replace with offset of canvas on graph
     var graphy = $('#placeholder').offset().top;
     graphy = graphy + 10; // how low you want the label to hang underneath the point
     for(var k = 0; k < points.length; k++){
          for(var m = 1; m < points[k].data.length-1; m++){
            if(points[k].data[m][0] != null && points[k].data[m][1] != null){
                  if ((points[k].data[m-1][1] < points[k].data[m][1] && points[k].data[m][1] > points[k].data[m+1][1]) && (points[k].data[m-1][1] - points[k].data[m][1] < -50 || points[k].data[m][1] - points[k].data[m+1][1] > 50)) {
                                 showTooltip1(graphx + points[k].xaxis.p2c(points[k].data[m][0]) - 15, graphy + points[k].yaxis.p2c(points[k].data[m][1]) - 35,points[k].data[m][1], points[k].color);
              }
                              if ((points[k].data[m-1][1] > points[k].data[m][1] && points[k].data[m][1] < points[k].data[m+1][1]) && (points[k].data[m-1][1] - points[k].data[m][1] > 50 || points[k].data[m][1] - points[k].data[m+1][1] < -50)) {
                                 showTooltip1(graphx + points[k].xaxis.p2c(points[k].data[m][0]) - 15, graphy + points[k].yaxis.p2c(points[k].data[m][1]) + 2,points[k].data[m][1], points[k].color);
                              }
                            }
        }
      }

 }

function showTooltip1(x,y,contents, colour){
  $('<div class=tt1 id="value">' +  contents + '</div>').css( {
        position: 'absolute',
        display: 'none',
        top: y,
        left: x,
        'border-style': 'solid',
        'border-width': '2px',
        'border-color': colour,
        'border-radius': '5px',
        'background-color': '#ffffff',
        color: '#262626',
        padding: '0px',
        opacity: '1'
  }).appendTo("body").fadeIn(200);
