Label Settings
The Labels panel controls all text labels in your scene, including value labels, category labels, scale labels, and custom labels.
Global Label Settings
Max Labels – Maximum number of labels to display (1-1000). Helps manage performance with large datasets.
Min Value to Show – Minimum data value threshold for labels to appear (0-100). Labels below this value won't be displayed.
Label Types
Labels can be of different types:
- Value Labels: Show numeric values on or near your data points
- Category Labels: Show category names (typically on the X-axis)
- Scale Labels: Appear on the Y-axis scale
- Custom Labels: User-defined labels that can be linked to data properties or positioned freely
Label Configuration
Each label has the following settings:
Basic Settings
Type – The type of label (value, category, scale, custom).
Scope – How the label is applied:
- Each Datapoint: One label per data point
- Single Instance: One label for the entire dataset
- Free Floating: Positioned independently without data binding
Linked To Property – The data property this label displays (e.g., value, category, geoId). For custom labels, can also link to column titles or use custom text.
Dataset Selection – For per-datapoint labels, select which dataset this label applies to (when multiple selections exist).
Enabled – Toggle label visibility.
Anchor Positioning
Anchor Point – For value and category labels, the position on the data entity where the label attaches:
- Top: Top of the bar/entity
- Center: Middle of the bar/entity
- Bottom: Bottom of the bar/entity
- Value (line charts): At the data point value
- Visual Center (geo): Center of the landmass
- Capital (geo): Capital city location
Attach To (Custom Labels Only) - Where to anchor custom labels:
- Free Position: Positioned using absolute coordinates
- Data Bounding Box: Attached to the data container's bounding box
- Other Entity Anchor: Attached to a specific entity's anchor point
Bounding Box Position (Data Container Mode) - When attached to data bounding box, select position:
- X: Left, Center, Right
- Y: Bottom, Middle, Top
- Z: Back, Center, Front
Entity Anchor (Other Entity Mode) - Select a specific anchor from available entities in the scene.
Transform
Position – Position offset [X, Y, Z] for labels. Range: -5 to 5 for each axis. When using anchors, this is added as an offset from the anchor point.
Rotation – Rotation [X, Y, Z] in degrees.
Scale – Scale [X, Y, Z] multiplier.
Text Settings
Font Size – Font size for labels (0.05 - 2.0).
Text Color – Text color for labels.
Font Family – Font family for labels. Supports system fonts and workspace custom fonts.
Font Variant – Font weight and style (Regular, Bold, Italic, etc.).
Text Anchor – Horizontal and vertical text alignment (9-point grid: Top-Left, Top-Center, Top-Right, Middle-Left, Middle-Center, Middle-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Center, Bottom-Right).
Number Formatting (Value and Custom Labels)
Decimal Places – Number of decimal places for numeric labels (0-10).
Use Thousands Separator – Format numbers with thousands separator (e.g., 1,000 instead of 1000).
Prefix – Text prefixed to value labels (e.g., "$" for currency).
Suffix – Text suffixed to value labels (e.g., "kg" for weight).
Animation (Value Labels Only)
Animation Type – How value labels animate:
- None: Shows final value immediately
- Count-up: Counts from start to end value (shows "—" before animation)
- Scale-in: Label scales from 0 to full size from its anchor point
Duration (s) – Duration for value label animations in seconds (0.1 - 5.0).
Trigger – When the animation starts:
- On Start: Animation begins when the scene starts
- On Value Reached: Animation begins when the bar/entity reaches its target value
Offset (s) – Time offset for animation start (-5 to +5 seconds). Positive values delay, negative values start early.
Background
Show Background – Toggle background for labels.
Background Color – Background color for labels.
Padding Top – Vertical padding at top of label backgrounds (0 - 0.3).
Padding Right – Horizontal padding at right of label backgrounds (0 - 0.3).
Padding Bottom – Vertical padding at bottom of label backgrounds (0 - 0.3).
Padding Left – Horizontal padding at left of label backgrounds (0 - 0.3).
Corner Radius – Border radius for label backgrounds (0 - 0.2).
Special Settings
Country Name Format (Category Labels in Geo Scenes) - Format for country names:
- Full Name: e.g., "Belgium"
- ISO Alpha-3: e.g., "BEL"
- ISO Alpha-2: e.g., "BE"
- Localized: Based on browser language
Custom Text (Single/Free Labels) - Custom text content for labels not linked to data properties.
Text Depth (3D Export Only) - Depth/thickness of text in 3D exports.
