Trying to get the Y axis scale labels to look like the image, to be position on top of the scale and not rotated.
scale options currently look like:
scales: {
yAxes: [{
id: 'temp',
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: '°C'
},
type: 'linear',
position: 'left'
}, {
id: 'ppm',
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'ppm',
},
type: 'linear',
position: 'left',
ticks: {
stepSize: 500
}
}, {
id: '%',
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: '%',
},
type: 'linear',
position: 'right',
ticks: {
max: 100,
min: 0
}
}]
}

- @Buminda No this won't work. The 'position' in your answer is for entire y-axe. – quangteo.media Commented Sep 24, 2018 at 2:23

Reset to default 3You can use the Plugin Core API that offers a range of hooks that may be used for performing custom code. To draw the scale labels on top of the different yAxes
in your code sample, the afterDraw
hook could be defined as follows. It uses CanvasRenderingContext2D.fillText()
to draw text directly on the canvas
.
plugins:[{
afterDraw: chart => {
var ctx = chart.chart.ctx;
ctx.save();
ctx.font = "bold 14px Arial";
ctx.fillStyle = "gray";
var y = 50;
ctx.textAlign = 'left';
ctx.fillText('CO2', 5, y);
ctx.fillText('°C', 46, y);
ctx.textAlign = 'right';
ctx.fillText('%', chart.chart.width - 10, y);
ctx.restore();
}
}],
Please have a look at your amended JSFiddle
https://github./chartjs/Chart.js/issues/3706
It's still not supported,but there is a way to workaround.
title: { display: true, text: ['realTile','leftScalelabel...............................
many space....................................................... rightScalelabel'] },
