EditableLabel

Type class

A label the user can edit in place. Editing starts on editOn and ends when the label loses focus or ESC is pressed; active is true while it lasts.

@since 5.9.5

Sources

EditableLabel can be used (imported) via one of the following packages.

// Import EditableLabel
import * as am5 from "@amcharts/amcharts5";

// Create EditableLabel
am5.EditableLabel.new(root, {
  // ... config if applicable
});
<!-- Load EditableLabel -->
<script src="index.js"></script>

<script>
// Create EditableLabel
am5.EditableLabel.new(root, {
  // ... config if applicable
});
</script>

Inheritance

EditableLabel extends Label.

EditableLabel is extended by EditableAxisLabel.

Settings

Set these settings on a EditableLabel object using its set() and setAll() methods.

Read about settings concept.

active
#

Type undefined | false | true

Inherited from ISpriteSettings

Applies the element's "active" state while true.

animations
#

Type Array

Inherited from IEntitySettings

Animations the element plays on its own, described as data - so they can be set from a JSON config and saved with it.

Each one animates a setting of the element (or, with target: "dataItem", a value of its data item - a map point's positionOnLine, say). They start when the setting is applied, restart when it changes, and stop when the element is disposed. A saved config keeps what was configured, never a value caught half way through an animation.

sprite.set("animations", [
  { key: "rotation", to: 360, duration: 4000, loops: 0 },
  { key: "scale", from: 1, to: 1.3, duration: 800, loops: 0, yoyo: true, easing: "sine" }
]);

@since 5.20.8

#

Type undefined | number

Milliseconds to wait before the autoAppear animation starts. The element stays hidden until then.

@since 5.21.0

appearDuration
#

  • "checkbox"

autoAppear
#

Type undefined | false | true

Default false

Inherited from ISpriteSettings

Plays the element's reveal animation, as appear() does, when it is first drawn: a chart fades in, a series grows its columns or lines from the base. A series waits for its first data. It plays once: data updates do not replay it, but turning the setting off and on again does.

Elements made from a template play as each one is made.

An element that starts hidden (visible: false, or hidden in code before it is drawn) stays hidden. An animations entry on the same setting, such as a pulsing opacity, keeps playing.

This is how a JSON config gets the opening animation, as a config cannot call appear().

chart.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000, appearDelay: 100 });
series.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000 });
chart.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000, appearDelay: 100 });
series.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000 });
