I have created a multi bar chart in NVD3/AngularJS. I want to display text inside each rectangular bar along with its value as seen in the JSON below.
How do I display text values to the graph within each bar?
NVD3 Chart Definition
multiBarChart: {
options: function(){
return {
chart: {
type: 'multiBarChart',
stacked: true,
x: function(d){return d.x;},
y: function(d){return d.y;},
text: function(d){return d.x;},
showLabels: true,
showLegend: false,
transitionDuration: 500,
forceX: ["Team", "Meeting", "Phase", "Source"],
xAxis: {
axisLabel: 'Category',
axisLabelDistance: -8
},
yAxis: {
axisLabel: 'Number Of Action Items',
}
}
}
},
data: categoryChartData
}

Angular-nvd3 doesn't do this natively for multi-bar charts, due to some complications from animating stacked bars, but it will for discrete bar charts, as How to display values in Stacked Multi-bar chart - nvd3 Graphs explored. However, in an update to his answer to that question, @Topicus linked to a gist they wrote that accomplishes what you're looking for.
I adapted the gist to your situation; you can see the result in this Plunker. You can play with the formatting a little if the labels show up a little wonky. The key is that the labels need to be appended after the animation is complete, so I set a timeout equal to (could also be a little greater than) the value of the transitionDuration chart property. I also removed all zero values so they don't obscure the nonzero ones.
$scope.options = {
chart: {
type: 'multiBarChart',
height: 500,
transitionDuration: 500,
...
}
};
$scope.data...
$timeout(function () {
d3.selectAll('.nv-multibar .nv-group').each(function(group){
var g = d3.select(this);
// Remove previous labels if there is any
g.selectAll('text').remove();
g.selectAll('.nv-bar').each(function(bar) {
var b = d3.select(this);
var barWidth = b.attr('width');
var barHeight = b.attr('height');
g.append('text')
// Transforms shift the origin point then the x and y of the bar
// is altered by this transform. In order to align the labels
// we need to apply this transform to those.
.attr('transform', b.attr('transform'))
.text(function() {
// No decimals format and eliminate zero values
if (bar.y === 0) {
return;
}
return parseFloat(bar.y).toFixed(0);
})
.attr('y', function() {
// Center label vertically
var height = this.getBBox().height;
return parseFloat(b.attr('y')) + 15; // 15 is the label's margin from the top of bar
})
.attr('x', function() {
// Center label horizontally
var width = this.getBBox().width;
return parseFloat(b.attr('x')) + (parseFloat(barWidth) / 2) - (width / 2);
})
.style("stroke","black")
.attr('class', 'bar-values');
});
});
}, 500);
