Using formatted labels

Introduction

Formatted labels are available to you as of version 6.0 of RGraph for both canvas and SVG charts and allow you to specify a single template string as the label which has certain macros in it and RGraph will replace those macros with the correct values.

Label templates are very similar to tooltip templates in their appearance albeit with fewer macros available to them (because only strings are permitted - not HTML).

Here's an example of a chart that uses label templates. In the download archive there's a demo called demos/activity-radial2.html which shows off label templates to good effect. It's not by any means a complicated demo - but it's effective.

Example

<script>
    data   = [28,19,39,45];
    values = RGraph.clone(data);
    labels = ['John','Fred','Mark','Andy'];

    new RGraph.Activity({
        id: 'cvs',
        min: 0,
        max: 100,
        value: data,
        options: {
            marginInner: 2,
            backgroundColor: 'transparent',
            backgroundGrid: false,
            backgroundGridRadials: false,
            backgroundRings: false,
            colors: ['red','blue','#aaa','black'],
            labels: '%{global:labels[%{index}]} (%{value_formatted})',
            labelsFormattedUnitsPost: '%',
            labelsSize: 10,
            labelsBold: true,
            labelsItalic: true,
            labelsColor: '#333',
            labelsOffsetx: -20,
            labelsFormattedUnitsPost:'%',
            responsive: [
                {maxWidth: null, css: {cssFloat: 'right'}},
                {maxWidth: 600, css: {cssFloat: 'none'}}
            ]
        }
    }).draw();
</script>
