Hi,

I'm having trouble to call the formatter method when i parse my options via ajax call

{
  "data": [
    {
      "label": "Series1",
      "data": 10
    },
    {
      "label": "Series2",
      "data": 20
    },
    {
      "label": "Series3",
      "data": 30
    },
    {
      "label": "Series4",
      "data": 40
    }
  ],
  "options": {
    "series":{
      "pie":{
        "show":true,
        "radius":1,
        "label":{
          "show":true,
          "radius": "2/3",
          "formatter": "labelFormatter"
        }
      }
    },
    "legend":{
      "show":false
    }
  }
}

data.json

Initialization of flot:

plotObj = $.plot(plotArea, scope.dataset, scope.options);

The scope.options is the "options" part from the json above and the scope.dataset is the "data" part of my json

var labelFormatter = function(label, series) {
   console.log('labelformatter');
   // series is the series object for the label
   return '<a href="#' + label + '">' + label + '</a>';
};

My "labelFormatter" function

So, it's all working and it's creating the flot pie chart, but it's NOT calling the labelFormatter function.

Can i somehow pase/prepare my scope.data so javascript calls my "labelFormatter" function?

Thank you

Remove the quotes around labelFormatter

"formatter": labelFormatter
