How to make label in histogram respond to dynamic user input

I have the following working code. It takes the input data and display the histogram based on a threshold.

If you run, the code below, the code is working to the extend that the histogram changes as you drag the sliding bar.

However the label 26 GENES does not change as we drag the threshold from 1.5 to 2. I expect the value change to 30 GENES. These values are encoded in the var input_data especially nof_genes.

How can I make that to take effect?

Solution

Here's the fixed code. What I changed was that histogram object doesn't hold the number of genes as a Dataset, but instead holds the AxisLabel object. With that, updating the label simply means updating the text() of that label.

The most important pieces are:

load_nof_genes: function (threshold) {
                        this.axisLabel.text(this.nofGenesByThreshold[threshold] + 'genes');
                    },

And:

 new Plottable.Components.Table([
        [null, titleLabel],
        [null, histogram.axisLabel],
        [yAxis, plot],
        [null, xAxis]
    ]).renderTo(targetElement);

PS I also changed a bit how plotSampleHistogram receives the arguments - instead of going through all fields of histogram I pass the object directly.
