Legends and Labels Support about epoch HOT 12 CLOSED

Upon reflection I believe this is outside the scope of the project at the moment. Will need to revisit this when approaching a first major version.

Is there any news on this issue?

Originally I was wondering what use it would be to have legends, considering that one could just use HTML to defined them "around" the charts. But we ended up having to do some labeling and overlay extensions when using the library internally so I am thinking to open this back up again (or refile).

Out of curiosity what is your specific use case?

I need a way to label each of the bar chart bars with their respective values. Not having the labels makes the user guess the approximate value of the bar, which isn't ideal. Something like the following is what I was hoping to achieve:

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I am beginning to wonder if some sort of hover popover that displays values might be useful to have by default for all of the basic plots. Also looking into ways that we can make the plots easier to override especially in the case of rendering so you can easily create what you need.

I am currently experimenting with nvd3 has this functionality, but I would rather prefer the label to be always visible.

I would like to use epoch over nvd3, as the outputted SVG tree is cleaner and easier to work with. I will see if I can modify epoch to display the labels in the manner I am looking for.

Yeah it's meant to be pretty extensible like that. Just playing around with it I think this will do exactly what you need: https://gist.github.com/rsandor/8ba96a3b59926f115e52

Thank you for that solution, @rsandor. Hopefully that will merged into a future release.

In my opinion the reason why it would be useful to have as part of the library is that otherwise a lot of people will end up adding it themselves rewriting the same code independently. Also if you do a good job and you want colours to match what's in the plotting, tooltips to show longer names, options to show the labels in different places, etc. it starts being a non negligible effort.

I agree with @tarelli 👍

@tarelli - Sounds like you have a good idea of how it might work. Want to code it up and send a PR?

I need this today... Any update whether this is implemented or not??
