Assigning Labels to Individual Series

How to:

Assign a Series Label

The label property assigns a label to an individual series that will be shown in the chart legend area. You can use the legend:labels property to define the format and color of the series label.

Syntax: How to Assign a Series Label

"series": [
   {
      "series": number, 
      "label": "string",
   }
]

where:

"series": number: Is a zero-based series number. If the series does not exist in the chart, the property is ignored.
"label": "string": is a string that defines the series label.

Example: Assigning Series Labels

The following request generates a vertical bar chart and assigns a new label to series 0. You can see the new label in the legend, which is positioned to the right of the chart:
