Labels on axis

[Jon Smith]

Hi,

I'm trying me hand with Flot and it looks good. However one noteable omission from every example - none a single one of them includes a label on their axis saying what the axis represents.

(they call it an x-axis title there.)

I've tried looking at the API documentation but couldn't see anything there (missed it probably).

So I tried:

options:{

xaxis:{

label:"Number of requests"

},

yaxis:{

label: "Month"

}

}

But that didn't work either.

So how do I labe/titlel my axis?

Thanks

Hi Jon, 

I had to go with using this plugin: https://github.com/markrcote/flot-axislabels.

It sounded like axis labels were in the latest release but I wasn't able to find them.

You can use the axislabels plugin, or create your own html elements to hold the labels outside of the graph div.

Thanks. I must admit I'm surprised that such a core component of a chart is a plugin, and not one that comes with the distribution either.

(I was trying to avoid using HTML elements.)

I'll give that a try. Much appreciated!

I believe they are still planned for version 0.9; the work was committed to the 0.9-work branch last year: https://github.com/flot/flot/pull/1090

That's good to know. Is there an ETA on 0.9? The last update was http://www.flotcharts.org/blog/2013/09/29/flot-09-update/ - quite a while back.

Thanks.

Are you freaking kidding me? How are axis labels not part of the core???? Didn't everyone learn in school that EVERY graph should be well-labeled? Sheeeeeeesh!!

Glad you asked, John! Thanks!
