Line Chart with Labels

Q: How do I format the labels?

The text mark's text names the field, "desktop". Pass a function of the row instead: return row.desktop.toLocaleString() for separators, or add a currency sign or a unit there. The tooltip doesn't read it; its rows take a formatter in ChartContainer's tooltip options.

Q: How do I move the labels closer to the points?

Change dy on the text mark: -15 lifts each label's middle 15px above its point, near where Recharts' offset={12} puts it. A smaller number brings it closer; a larger one needs more top margin (20 here), or the highest label clips.

Q: What if the labels overlap?

The text mark doesn't push labels apart. Use fewer points or a smaller fontSize, or make text a function that returns null for the rows you want unlabeled, such as every other month.

Q: Can I label only the highest and lowest months?

Yes. Make text a function that returns the value only for the rows you want, for example when row.desktop equals the highest or lowest value in chartData, and null for the rest.

Q: Can the labels use the series color?

Set the text mark's fill to var(--color-desktop). Check the contrast in both themes: chart colors are tuned for strokes, and 12px text needs more contrast than a line.

A line with each month's value printed above its point, so the numbers read without hovering, even in a screenshot. For Svelte on TanStack Charts.

About

Use it when people need the numbers, not only the shape: a report, a slide, a screenshot in a ticket. Labels suit a handful of points; past ten or so they collide. To name categories instead of printing values, see the Line Chart with Custom Labels.

A natural curve through six months with a dot on each point and its value in small text above it. The top margin is larger so the highest label isn't cut off, and the tooltip shows the month and value with a line indicator.

Usage

<script lang="ts">
import ChartLineLabel from "@/components/charts/chart-line-label.svelte";
</script>

<ChartLineLabel />

Customize

A decorative text mark over the same rows prints the labels: x: "month", y: "desktop", text: "desktop" for the value and dy: -15 to lift it above the point. A decorative dot mark marks each point.
fill: "var(--foreground)" and fontSize: 12 keep the labels in the text color, not the series color, so they read in both themes.
text also takes a function of the row, so formatting is plain code: toLocaleString() for separators, a prefix for currency.
dy moves the text but doesn't make room for it. Labels over the highest point need a larger top margin in the definition.
ChartContainer's tooltip passes { indicator: "line" } and keeps the label, so the tooltip shows the month.

Can I label only the highest and lowest months?

Yes. Make text a function that returns the value only for the rows you want, for example when row.desktop equals the highest or lowest value in chartData, and null for the rest.

Will the labels show up in a screenshot or export?

Yes. They're SVG text drawn in the chart, unlike the tooltip, so a screenshot or a saved SVG keeps them. That's the main reason to label a line.

Can the labels use the series color?

Set the text mark's fill to var(--color-desktop). Check the contrast in both themes: chart colors are tuned for strokes, and 12px text needs more contrast than a line.
