Bar chart with values placed on the chart instead of in tooltip - google-visualization

i'm trying to create some charts with google charts api. I need a bar chart with values placed directly on the chart (not on the tooltip which is set by default). I know that it was possible in Image Charts (which are now deprecated). Is there any way to achive a similar result in Google Charts? I will be grateful for any help or advice...
Here are some examples of what i want to achieve:

No, there isn't. See the answer in this question.
Quote follows:
This feature is not currently supported. The only way to implement it is to write some fancy javascript to create it.
I am no pro at working with SVG with javascript, and won't pretend to be. I'll let you know what I found out with Firebug, and share that.
Using this chart I inspected the SVG element that's created. It has 5 different <g> (I'm assuming group) elements.
g[1] contains information on the title.
g[2] contains the legend
g[3] contains the chart information (sub-groups with the chart
area, gridlines, series, axis label values, etc.) -- when a point is
selected, this shows the circle/double-circle for that point too
g[4] contains axis titles
g[5] contains the tooltips in two separate groups, but only on
mouseover
Here is the function in the code that gets triggered when you mouseover a point:
Y.Ov=function(a,b,c){a=new kv(a);var d=this.Mf.pk(Wj);b=b[zc](sd);d[w](this.Mf[sb](b[0]));for(var e=1;e<b[L];++e)d[w](this.Mf.pk(ti)),d[w](this.Mf[sb](b[e]));Qt(d,c);a.t()[w](d);a.Zz(100);a.Yz(100);this.on[y](a);return a};Y.appendChild=function(a,b){if(b){var c;if(b[Bc]==Sv){if(!b.Th())return;c=b.t()}else c=b;a.t()[w](c)}};Y.replaceChild=function(a,b,c){a.t().replaceChild(b,c);Cu(c)};Y.Fg=function(a){a.Th()&&this.xs(a.t())};Y.xs=function(a){this.Mf.Fg(a)};Y.ds=function(a){this.Mf.removeNode(a);Cu(a)};
This probably doesn't help you. I can't find any easy way to create a workaround for this (oh-so-needed) feature. Sorry there's no solution yet!

Google Charts not displaying names on yaxis

I'm having a mare trying to get names to appear alongside data on a google bar chart. It should be simple!! Looking at the examples I should not have to add any options at all, they should appear by default but they dont. Even when I copy/paste the examples from
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/barchart
They render without the names against the rows. Can anyone take a guess as to why that might be?
If I position the vAxis.textposition as 'in' then they DO appear in the bars, but when I put them to 'out' they dont. I've configured the text colour to be black in case they're writing in white, but they still will NOT appear.
Any help or ideas gratefully received
This was because I had a style that was being applied within the generated chart HTML. Even though the rest of the content looked fine, the sizing meant the labels were not generated

Y axis bar values are overlapping with each other in apache superset bar chart

When I try to show the bar value in the bar chart of apache superset, y axis bar values overlap with each other.
To fix this issue, I want to rotate the y-axis values with 45 degree so that those values will look vertically and won't overlap with each other, just like it is there in x-axis values.
Do you prefer grouped or stacked bars. Using stacked bars would be a shortcut to solving this.
I don't have an easy but bad answer for you, and a more difficult but rational answer.
The bad/easy answer: You might be able to do this with CSS, at least in any given dashboard. For that, you'd want to take your Dashboard into Edit mode, and pick "Edit CSS" from the "..." menu in the top right. There, you should have access to write some clever CSS selectors (let me know if you need help) and tweak CSS properties of the SVG text element (i.e. text-anchor, transform). That said I think you're going to have a bad time with this approach, since you don't have access in CSS to the values you might need for `translate(x, y). So, that brings us to...
The better/harder answer: You could edit the plugin! One caveat is that we'll be replacing some visualizations in the near future (including the Bar Chart) with ones based on Apache ECharts. Meanwhile, you could open up a PR on the Superset-ui repo at https://github.com/apache-superset/superset-ui. The NVD3-based plugin lies in there, as do the controls, where you might be able to add additional controls for rotation.
Door #3, of course, would be to write your own visualization plugin (or help us with the ECharts refactor!) but that's another conversation entirely.
Sorry this isn't more directly helpful, but I hope it gives you more avenues to explore.

ChartJS: add a clickable text in title

I am using ChartJS to draw a line chart. I want to update the chart with the different dataset but that is another case. Right now i am having trouble in adding a button in the title because no callback function is available for this. Any thing from i can get help ?
According to this issue on github.
There are two points mentioned:
1- You cannot have a hyperlink inside the canvas.
2- There is a solution to make title clickable but this makes whole one point to another point clickable not only text but the white space also.
My solution : what I did was to use a simple hack; I hide the title by giving it display :false and then add an external link to it. Line adding a link into the div. And upon clicking it I was changing the chart.
You can control the chart by using any external element but there are some limitation on manipulating the chart from the elements of the charts itself.
I hope it may help the future readers.

Can I modify elements of a Google Chart after the page has loaded? Specifically, colors

I'm working with the Visualization API and column chart package for Google Charts. I can generate a graph with the data I want, but can I modify parts of the chart after the page has loaded? Specifically, I want to change the color of one column. I've done this by editing the DOM in Chrome's Element's Panel tool, but is there a way I can actually code this into my page, or am I out of luck? Thanks!
I had a similar challenge. In my case I needed a different color for each bar in a bar chart, something that the vis api doesn't support.
I ended up with this (using jquery, but no reason why it can't be done just using native dom functions)
statusCols btw is just an array of html colors...
function colorBars(){
$("#masterstatus g rect[fill='#3366cc']").each(function(){$(this).attr("bar", 'true')})
$("#masterstatus g rect[bar='true']").each(function(barNo){
$(this).attr("fill", statusCols[barNo]);
});
}
The secret (as it sounds like you have already discovered) is in identifying the dom element to change, that's the $("#masterstatus g rect[fill='#3366cc']") bit - I'm just selecting bars in the default color and iterating through them, in your case you want to pic an ordinal (eg the third one in the collection)
Hope that helps.
Actually I hope even more that someone else comes up with a better way...

Using Google Annotated Time Line Chart Without Flash

I want a similar behavior Chart as Google Annotated Time Line Chart to display my Time Series Data from DataBase In our environment we are restricted using Flash .
But i see that Google Annotated Time Line Chart works only with Flash .
I want a similar behavior as of Google Annotated Time Line Chart showing two charts , where the below Chart helps us to select a Range and the Upper Chart displays the Zoomed Area .
I wanted to develop this by taking two divs , but i am struck up as how to maintain synchronization between these two divs (Chart Div and Slider Div)
If anybody developed has developed Google Annotated Time Line Chart Without Flash , please give some inputs as how to develop this .
Thank you very much for reading .
check out https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#chartrangefilter_control
I believe you can do simple annotations also using data roles 'annotation' and 'annotationtext' (not too much styling though). You can find more info here https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/roles.
I just ran into this:
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/dynamic-master-detail
It's not free but it looks interesting.
there is no other way to make charts in Google without Flash at the moment
