Using Highcharts I am trying to do away with the legend on a split packed bubble and place the series names under or near the visual groups (see illustration below).
I tried setting plotOptions.packedbubble.label to { enabled: true } but its not showing anything.
How do I show the series names under the groups of the split packed bubble chart?
You can use the parentNodeFormat feature or parentNodeFormatter callback to achieve the wanted effect. Using the callback you can return custom HTML element if you need.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/j2hq9osz/
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
parentNodeFormat: '{series.name}',
format: '{point.name}',
style: {
color: 'black',
textOutline: 'none',
fontWeight: 'normal'
}
}
