Data label in EJ2 TypeScript Accumulation chart control

8 May 202324 minutes to read

Data label can be added to a chart series by enabling the visible
option in the dataLabel property.

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    enableSmartLabels: true,
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: [{ x: 'Jan', y: 13, text: 'Jan: 3' }, { x: 'Feb', y: 13.5, text: 'Feb: 3.5' },
                { x: 'Mar', y: 7, text: 'Mar: 7' }, { x: 'Apr', y: 13.5, text: 'Apr: 13.5' }],
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y',
            dataLabel: { visible: true }
        }
    ]
}, '#element');

Note: To use the data label feature, inject the DataLabel using the Chart.Inject(DataLabel) method.

Positioning

Accumulation chart provides support for placing the data label either inside or outside the chart.

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { labelData } from './datasource.ts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: labelData,
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y',
            dataLabel: { visible: true, position:'Outside' }
        }
    ]
}, '#element');

Smart labels

Data labels will be arranged smartly without overlapping with each other. You can enable or disable this feature using the enableSmartLabels property.

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    enableSmartLabels: true,
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: [
                { x: 'Jan', y: 3, text: 'Jan: 3' }, { x: 'Feb', y: 3.5, text: 'Feb: 3.5' },
                { x: 'Mar', y: 7, text: 'Mar: 7' }, { x: 'Apr', y: 13.5, text: 'Apr: 13.5' },
                { x: 'May', y: 19, text: 'May: 19' }, { x: 'Jun', y: 23.5, text: 'Jun: 23.5' },
                { x: 'Jul', y: 26, text: 'Jul: 26' }, { x: 'Aug', y: 25, text: 'Aug: 25' },
                { x: 'Sep', y: 21, text: 'Sep: 21' }, { x: 'Oct', y: 15, text: 'Oct: 15' }],
            dataLabel: { visible: true, name: 'text', position: 'Outside' },
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y'
        }
    ]
}, '#element');

Data Label Template

Label content can be formatted by using the template option. Inside the template, you can add the placeholder text ${point.x} and ${point.y} to display corresponding data points x & y value. Using templateproperty, you can set data label template in chart.

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { labelData } from './datasource.ts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    enableSmartLabels: true,
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: labelData,
            dataLabel: { visible: true, name: 'text', position: 'Inside',
                template:  "<div id='templateWrap' style='background-color:#bd18f9;border-radius: 3px; float: right;padding: 2px;line-height: 20px;text-align: center;'>"+ "<img src='https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/chart/images/sunny.png' />" + "<div style='color:white; font-family:Roboto; font-style: medium; fontp-size:14px;float: right;padding: 2px;line-height: 20px;text-align: center;padding-right:6px'><span>${point.y}</span></div></div>"
            },xName: 'x', yName: 'y'
        }]
}, '#element');

Connector Line

Connector line will be visible when the data label is placed outside the chart. The connector line can be customized using the type, color, width, length and dashArray properties

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { labelData } from './datasource.ts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    enableSmartLabels: true,
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: labelData,
            dataLabel: {
                visible: true, name: 'text', position: 'Outside',
                connectorStyle: {
                    //Length of the connector line in pixels
                    length: '50px',
                    //Width of the connector line in pixels
                    width: 2,
                    //dashArray of the connector line
                    dashArray: '5,3',
                    //Color of the connector line
                    color: '#f4429e',
                    //Specifies the type of the connector line either Line or Curve
                    type: 'Curve'
                }
            }, xName: 'x', yName: 'y'
        }
    ]
}, '#element');

Text Mapping

Text from the data source can be mapped to data label using name property.

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel  } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
import { dataMapping } from './datasource.ts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);

let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    series: [
        {
            dataSource:dataMapping ,
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y',
            dataLabel: { visible: true, name:'text' }
        }

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel, IAccTextRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: [{ x: 'Jan', y: 13, text: 'Jan: 3' },
                { x: 'Feb', y: 13, text: 'Feb: 3.5' },

import { labelData } from './datasource.ts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(FunnelSeries, AccumulationDataLabel);
let accChart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: labelData,
            dataLabel: { visible: true, name: 'text', position: 'Outside' },
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y'
        }
    ],

    textRender: (args: IAccTextRenderEventArgs) => {
        if (args.text.indexOf('Mar') > -1) {
            args.color = 'red';
            args.border.width = 1;

Text wrap

When the data label text exceeds the container, the text can be wrapped by using textWrap property. End user can also wrap the data label text based on maxWidth property.

import { AccumulationChart, AccumulationDataLabel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
AccumulationChart.Inject(AccumulationDataLabel);
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    enableSmartLabels: true,
      series: [
            {
                dataSource: [
                    { x: 'Chrome', y: 100, text: 'Chrome (100M)<br>40%', tooltipMappingName: '40%' },
                    { x: 'UC Browser', y: 40, text: 'UC Browser (40M)<br>16%', tooltipMappingName: '16%' },
                    { x: 'Opera', y: 30, text: 'Opera (30M)<br>12%', tooltipMappingName: '12%' },
                    { x: 'Safari', y: 30, text: 'Safari (30M)<br>12%', tooltipMappingName: '12%' },
                    { x: 'Firefox', y: 25, text: 'Firefox (25M)<br>10%', tooltipMappingName: '10%' },
                    { x: 'Others', y: 25, text: 'Others (25M)<br>10%', tooltipMappingName: '10%' }
                ],
                xName: 'x',
                yName: 'y',
                startAngle: 270,
                endAngle: 90,
                explode: true,radius : '100%',
                innerRadius: '40%', tooltipMappingName: 'tooltipMappingName',
                dataLabel: {
                    visible: true, position: 'Inside' ,maxWidth:100,textWrap:'Wrap',
                    name: 'text', enableRotation:true,
                },

let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    enableSmartLabels: true,
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: [{ x: 'Jan', y: 13, text: 'Jan: 3' }, { x: 'Feb', y: 13.5, text: 'Feb: 3.5' },
                { x: 'Mar', y: 7, text: 'Mar: 7' }, { x: 'Apr', y: 13.5, text: 'Apr: 13.5' }],
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y',
            dataLabel: { visible: true }
        }
    ],
    textRender: (args: IAccTextRenderEventArgs) => {
        args.text = args.point.percentage + "%";
    }
