In the previous chapters, we learned how to setup highcharts library and how to create a chart with required configurations using highcharts library in our webpage. Now, we will learn how to create a chart with data labels using highcharts library with examples.
Following is the example of creating a chart with data labels by enabling dataLabels property using highcharts library.

Highcharts.chart('container', {

},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: WorldClimate.com'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Temperature (°C)'
}

line: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
},
enableMouseTracking: false
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Tokyo',
data: [7.0, 6.9, 9.5, 14.5, 18.4, 21.5, 25.2, 26.5, 23.3, 18.3, 13.9, 9.6]
}, {
name: 'London',
data: [3.9, 4.2, 5.7, 8.5, 11.9, 15.2, 17.0, 16.6, 14.2, 10.3, 6.6, 4.8]
}]
});
});

If you observe the above example, we enabled dataLabels property to create a chart with data labels using highcharts library with required properties.
When we execute the above highcharts example, we will get the result like as shown below.
This is how we can create the chart with data labels using highcharts library with required properties based on our requirements.
