data labels are not up to speed with markers #13

Closed imcullan closed 7 years ago

imcullan commented 7 years ago

Expected behaviour

The data labels are supposed to be in sync with the markers.

Actual behaviour

The data labels lag behind the markers.

Live demo with steps to reproduce

Since a live dataset is required, there is no reproducible example, but there are about 10000 data points to make this graph. http://rpubs.com/cullan/nba-play

Hi, @imcullan. It's kind of hard to see what causes this without a chart configuration to look at. I cannot see why a live dataset is required to show the issue. You could simplify with only using one point, and a sequence of e.g. 5 artificial values, like this:

series: [{
  dataLabels: {
    enabled: true
  },
  data: [{
    sequence: [[5, 3], [6, 2], [7, 1], [8, 0], [9, 1]]
  }]
}]

There might be a problem with your setup, as it looks like points are not animated, while labels are. Take a look at this example with scatter: http://jsfiddle.net/larsac07/7p91obc3/2/. This works just fine, so there is no telling if you have a Motion problem or a Highcharts problem.

Can you at least provide the configuration you used?
