Hello!
Here’s a simple scatter chart:
Note that the following labels are included in the data:
Is there a way to have each label on the points come from these labels? I.e. display Jan, Feb, etc instead of x: 2, y:4 etc.
Thanks!
Ed
Hi Ed,
Yes, this is possible using the datalabels plugin. Here’s a quick example.
This works by adding a formatter to the datalabels plugin:
"formatter": function(value, context) {
var idx = context.dataIndex;
return context.chart.data.labels[idx];
}
The formatter looks up the label according to the datapoint’s position in the dataset.
Hope this helps!

Ian,
Amazing, thank you!
I’ve had such a great experience with QuickChart.io and your support here has been so helpful.
I don’t need the ‘Professional’ subscription, but signed up for a month anyway to support y’alls great service.

I was able to get the callback working. Thank you Ian!
Here’s an example (ignore the formatting 
):
If I try to load that in the chart maker:
it seems to hang at Fetching chart config...:

Hi Ed,
This is a limitation of the Chart Maker currently. It can’t load Javascript functions that are manually created.
There’s a workaround here: enable the datalabelsZAxis plugin and set the month names as the z value on the datapoint instead of using the labels property. Here’s an example
This means your datapoints would look like this:
{
"x": "2",
"y": "4",
"z": "Jan",
},
{
"x": "3",
"y": "3",
"z": "Feb",
},
...
This approach should load just fine in the Chart Maker. Sorry for the trouble.

Ian,
Amazing! Got it to work:
Banks in FR Y-9c data :
X axis: (HTM unrealized losses + AFS unrealized losses) / T1C
Y axis: (Loans secured by real estate) / total assets
I’ve divided the datasets into groups based on ‘total assets’, so that you can turn them off to reduce the overlapping.
Thank you!

If anyone’s curious, here’s the PowerShell script I used to generate the scatter chart.
After sourcing the script, this command generates the chart:
scatter HTM_AFS_UL_T1C LSBRE_TA
