Add a label to a point of a bubble graph (Chart.js)


I am having difficulty adding a label to points on my bubble graph.

I am trying to assign the same label as the legend for each of my datasets.

I have tried to assign these points a label, but I seem to only be able to display it's value.

I would like to display the value of the point above and a custom label below the point (Like in the second image below).

What my current progress is

What I am trying to do

Here is the code for my progress so far on the chart.

<script>

var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');

var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {

    type: 'bubble',

    data: {
        datasets: [
            {
                label: 'Top',
                data: [
                    {x: 110, y: 0, r: 10, name: "Performance"}
                ],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(153,255,51,0.6)"
            },
            {
                label: 'Average',
                data: [
                    {x: 75, y: 0, r: 10, name: "Performance"}
                ],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(153,255,51,0.6)"
            },
            {
                label: 'You 2017',
                data: [
                    {x: 55, y: 0, r: 10, name: "Performance"}
                ],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(153,255,51,0.6)"
            },
            {
                label: 'You 2018',
                data: [
                    {x: 90, y: 0, r: 10, name: "Performance"} // The labe needs to be
                ],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(255,0,128,0.6)"
            }

                        min: 50, // Controls where axis starts
                        max: 120, // Controls where axis finishes
                        stepSize: 70 // Control the gap between the first x-axis value and the last x-axis value
                    },
                    gridLines: {

                    }
                }
            ]

        }
    }

});

I appreciate any help or suggestions ^_^


Solution

  • Modify your datalabels plugin configuration this way:

       datalabels: {
            anchor: function (context) {
                var value = context.dataset.data[context.dataIndex];
                return value.x < 1000 ? 'end' : 'center';
            },
            align: function (context) {
                var value = context.dataset.data[context.dataIndex];
                return value.x < 1000 ? 'end' : 'center';
            },
            color: function (context) {
                var value = context.dataset.data[context.dataIndex];
                return value.x < 1000 ? context.dataset.backgroundColor : 'white';
            },
            font: {
                weight: 'bold'
            },
            formatter: function (value, context) {
                return context.dataset.label;
            },
            offset: 2,
            padding: 0
        }
    

    The formatter has also a context parameter which contains info about dataset like label.
