Kibana: Show bar value above each bar

Created on 3 May 2016  路  25Comments  路  Source: elastic/kibana

After speaking with @Bargs I am raising this feature request:

I have a bar chart of count on Y-Axis and events on X-axis. When I mouseover a bar a tooltip appears with lots of info inside of it including the value of the count.

Please can you add a feature where I can show just the value of the count above each bar by default when the graph loads?

Many Thanks.

+1 I also would like to see this feature. I think can be very useful in some cases to give additional information to users.

Hi @rashidkpc, any idea when this will be implemented, if at all? To emphasise the need, my graph has a Y axis that ranges from 0 to 10,000. One of my bars has a count of 5 and so the bar is scaled down such that it appears as a very thin coloured line. But doing mouse-over on it does not show the usual popup showing that bar's data. The line is so thin that the mouse-over event doesn't fire!

Many, many thanks.

@JeremyColton since this is a P4 it probably won't get picked up until a dev has the time and interest, so it could be awhile. PRs are welcome of course!

I wish this was a feature. It doesn't seem very difficult, you already have the value if your mouse is over the graph, right?

+1 would love to see this built. Thank You.

@timroes @AlonaNadler I know we have introduced support for data labels in pie charts and there was some exploratory work done for introducing to point series visualizations as well. Are we considering data label support for any visualization part of the visualization enhancements in the new editor experience?

@alexfrancoeur that is rather unrelated to the new editor, but to our new chart implementation, thus I labeled it with :EuiChart. We can support this if we build functionality for it into the chart. Depending on the state of the new editor, we could still add an option for that into the old editor.

+1 @alexfrancoeur, @timroes Is this coming anytime soon ?

Not likely in any of the next minor releases. We first need to create feature parity with the new EUI chart component before we can use it in Kibana and then think about new chart styling features like this we want to add.

Thanks @timroes. I would like to make this changes to the current release and contribute. Any pointers to start with ? Since we already have data coming up in tooltip is it straight forward to make this implementation in all point series charts ?

You would basically need to implement that feature in the current chart implementation, which is in src/ui/public/vislib for all the charts you would want it and add options to the appropriate editors, that trigger that behavior. I don't think it will be straight forward, but will quite take some implementation effort to get this done (which is also why I don't want to do this for the current chart implementation anymore, that we know we will replace somewhere down the road).

When will this feature be available.
We need to show the values of each bar to present the exact data.
