Hide axis label

[9mthsnafter]

Hi,

I am using this https://canvasjs.com/jquery-charts/column-chart/ . Is there anyway to hide the label, because I had about 22 bars to create for this chart. And the label unable to fit. I only want to remain the mouse over label.

@9mthsnafter,

You can use labelFormatter to hide axis-labels. You can use tickLength and lineThickness to hide tick and axis-lines respectively. Below is the code-snippet.

axisX:{
    gridThickness: 0,
    tickLength: 0,
    lineThickness: 0,
    labelFormatter: function(){
      return " ";
    }
  },
  axisY:{
    gridThickness: 0,
    tickLength: 0,
    lineThickness: 0,
    labelFormatter: function(){
      return " ";
    }
  },

Please take a look at this JSFiddle for complete code.

Is it possible to hide the axis label but still display a crosshair label?

I’ve forked your fiddle to include a crosshair but it seems the axis labelFormatter overrides the crosshair’s labelFormatter.

@elcollie,

Thanks for reporting the use-case. We will look into the issue and fix it in future versions.

To work-around this issue, you can set axis labelFontColor to “transparent” instead of using labelFormatter to hide the axis labels. Please take a look at this updated JSFiddle.
