Determine series value when using templates

When using addSeries + templates I’d like to find out, what is the series I’m working on:

myChart.addSeries({ value:"#sales1#", color:"#45abf5", label:function(row) { /* what is the current series ? */ } });

Is this possible?

Hello
If you want to set common label - there is no way to implement this.
There is one item object in the Label tamplate ONLY

#3

I want to do some custom formatting inside the template function, that’s all. And I don’t know which row property corresponds to the series I’m working with…

#4

Try the next:

myChart.addSeries({ value:"#sales1#", color:"#45abf5", label:function(row) { someYourFunction("sales1",row); } });

#5

Actually, hardcoding is what I want to avoid: for(k in series){ myChart.addSeries({ value:"#"+series[k].value+"#", color:series[k].color, label:function(row) { someYourFunction("sales1",row); // it doesn't work } }); }

#6

When we posted someYourFunction(“sales1”,row), we meant that you can pass the series value into custom function. “sales1” was the series value ("#sales1#")

#7

Doesn’t work either, the call to someYourFunction is out of scope:

for(k in series){ myChart.addSeries({ value:"#"+series[k].value+"#", color:series[k].color, label:function(row) { someYourFunction(series[k].value,row); } }); }

#8

You may try to use closure approach. For example:

for(k in series){ myChart.addSeries({ value:"#"+series[k].value+"#", color:series[k].color, label: (function(row){ var seriesName = k; return function(row){ /*your code*/ } })() }); }

Thanks Darya! That’s exactly what I was looking for. Great solution!
