Shows how to enable and configure data labels for a chart series.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Add a line chart, then clear its demo data series to start with a clean chart,
// and then set a title.
let shape = builder.insertChart(aw.Drawing.Charts.ChartType.Line, 500, 300);
let chart = shape.chart;
chart.series.clear();
chart.title.text = "Monthly sales report";

// Insert a custom chart series with months as categories for the X-axis,
// and respective decimal amounts for the Y-axis.
let series = chart.series.add("Revenue",
   [ "January", "February", "March" ],
   [ 25.611, 21.439, 33.750 ]);

// Enable data labels, and then apply a custom number format for values displayed in the data labels.
// This format will treat displayed decimal values as millions of US Dollars.
series.hasDataLabels = true;
let dataLabels = series.dataLabels;
dataLabels.showValue = true;
dataLabels.numberFormat.formatCode = "\"US$\" #,##0.000\"M\"";
dataLabels.font.size = 12;

// Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
chart.series.clear();

// Add a custom series to the chart with categories for the X-axis,

  [ 1900000, 850000, 2100000, 600000, 1500000 ]);

// Set the number format of the Y-axis tick labels to not group digits with commas.
