Data Label Mapper for RangeColumnSeries does not format separately low&high

[Deishelon]

Bug description

This is what I'm trying to achieve conceptually, so it's clear why this is an issue.

Imagine the following graph where on the X axis is time, and you show to the user the 'timeline' view of a given state (i.e connected/disconnected in my case)

Now, when using SfCartesianChart with RangeColumnSeries I can provide 'low' and 'high' data points (via lowValueMapper and highValueMapper) which would indicate the start end the end of the state event.

However, when displayed back to the user the start&end would be printed as raw numbers (i.e milliseconds), which is expected:

However, now if one provides a dataLabelMapper one would expect that given RangeColumnSeries has two values that dataLabelMapper either would be called twice (one for low format, one for high format), or once but return 2 formatted strings (for low & high) - but this does not happen. When providing dataLabelMapper it's called once, and you can only return one thing. which means low&high data points are formatted identically.

See more in the code sample.

Steps to reproduce

1. Implement RangeColumnSeries where primaryYAxis is DateTimeAxis
2. Try to format the 'raw milliseconds' to sensible user output
3. Low&high data points do not have separate way for dataLabelMapper to format them
4. Even with dataLabelMapper provided the popup values are still 'raw'

(See code samples for full info)

Code sample

No formatting (base code)

With this we can get this chart to show up:  ```dart class RangeTimeData { final String name; final num low; final num high; RangeTimeData(this.name, this.low, this.high); } Widget timelineStateChart2(BuildContext context) { return SfCartesianChart( enableSideBySideSeriesPlacement: false, legend: const Legend(isVisible: true), primaryXAxis: CategoryAxis(majorGridLines: const MajorGridLines(width: 0)), primaryYAxis: DateTimeAxis(axisLine: const AxisLine(width: 0)), series: [ RangeColumnSeries( dataSource: [ RangeTimeData( "Wifi Status", DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 20, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 25, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, ), ], xValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.name, lowValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.low, highValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.high, name: 'Connected', dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(isVisible: true, labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top), ), RangeColumnSeries( dataSource: [ RangeTimeData( "Wifi Status", DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 30, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 40, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, ) ], xValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.name, lowValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.low, highValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.high, name: 'Disconnected', dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(isVisible: true, labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top), ) ], tooltipBehavior: TooltipBehavior(enable: true), isTransposed: true, ); } ```

Adding formatter

Now, I've added a formatter (`dataLabelMapper: (RangeTimeData data, index) => "${data.low}-${data.high}-$index",`), just to demonstrate the point that both low and high contain the same value (even the index is `0` for both)  ```dart return SfCartesianChart( enableSideBySideSeriesPlacement: false, legend: const Legend(isVisible: true), primaryXAxis: CategoryAxis(majorGridLines: const MajorGridLines(width: 0)), primaryYAxis: DateTimeAxis(axisLine: const AxisLine(width: 0)), series: [ RangeColumnSeries( dataSource: [ RangeTimeData( "Wifi Status", DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 20, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 25, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, ), ], xValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.name, lowValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.low, highValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.high, name: 'Connected', //dataLabelMapper: (RangeTimeData data, index) => "${data.low}-${data.high}-$index", dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(isVisible: true, labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top), ), RangeColumnSeries( dataSource: [ RangeTimeData( "Wifi Status", DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 30, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 40, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, ) ], xValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.name, lowValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.low, highValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.high, name: 'Disconnected', dataLabelMapper: (RangeTimeData data, index) => "${data.low}-${data.high}-$index", dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(isVisible: true, labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top), ) ], tooltipBehavior: TooltipBehavior(enable: true), isTransposed: true, ); ```

Multiple formatters

Same code as above, but now both `RangeColumnSeries` have formatter, but it seems like it formats only the first one (please note how the red box is missing any data format labels, but blue box has; but code has formatters for both):  ```dart return SfCartesianChart( enableSideBySideSeriesPlacement: false, legend: const Legend(isVisible: true), primaryXAxis: CategoryAxis(majorGridLines: const MajorGridLines(width: 0)), primaryYAxis: DateTimeAxis(axisLine: const AxisLine(width: 0)), series: [ RangeColumnSeries( dataSource: [ RangeTimeData( "Wifi Status", DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 20, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 25, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, ), ], xValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.name, lowValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.low, highValueMapper: (RangeTimeData sales, _) => sales.high, name: 'Connected', dataLabelMapper: (RangeTimeData data, index) => "${data.low}-${data.high}-$index", dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(isVisible: true, labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top), ), RangeColumnSeries( dataSource: [ RangeTimeData( "Wifi Status", DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 30, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, DateTime(2023, DateTime.april, 21, 40, 30).millisecondsSinceEpoch, ) ], xValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.name, lowValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.low, highValueMapper: (RangeTimeData data, _) => data.high, name: 'Disconnected', dataLabelMapper: (RangeTimeData data, index) => "${data.low}-${data.high}-$index", dataLabelSettings: const DataLabelSettings(isVisible: true, labelAlignment: ChartDataLabelAlignment.top), ) ], tooltipBehavior: TooltipBehavior(enable: true), isTransposed: true, ); ```

Also, please note how the values in the popup is not formatted at all, despite dataLabelMapper provided.:

Expected behaviour:

• dataLabelMapper to be able to format 'low' and 'high' data points individually -- maybe either via the 'index' (i.e 0 is low, and 1 is high) -- or can return a struct with 2 strings -- or have 2 data mappers lowDataLabelMapper & highDataLabelMapper
• When 2 series provide data mapper - all series on UI should show the formatted values
• The values in the popup should be formatted too

Hi @Deishelon,

Query 1: How to format 'low' and 'high' data points individually for the dataLabels.

You can achieve your requirement by using the onDataLabelRender callback in the SfCartesianChart. By using this, you can get ‘high’ and ‘low’ data points. When the onDataLabelRender callback is triggered, the high value will be called first, followed by the low value. You can format the dataLabel text separately by setting the bool property _isHigh to true to display high dataPoints and changing the _isHigh to false to display low dataPoints. We have provided a code snippet, screenshot, user guide documentation, and sample for your reference.

Code Snippet:

bool _isHigh = true;

 body: SfCartesianChart(
         isTransposed: true,
           onDataLabelRender: (DataLabelRenderArgs dataLabelArgs) {
            if (_isHigh) {
              // It represents for high dataPoints.
              final int millisecondsSinceEpoch = int.parse(dataLabelArgs.text!);
              final dateTime =
                  DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(millisecondsSinceEpoch);
              final String formattedDate = DateFormat.jm().format(dateTime);
              dataLabelArgs.text = formattedDate;
            } else {
              // It represents for low dataPoints.
              final int millisecondsSinceEpoch = int.parse(dataLabelArgs.text!);
              final dateTime =
               DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(millisecondsSinceEpoch);
              final String formattedDate = DateFormat.jm().format(dateTime);
              dataLabelArgs.text = formattedDate;
            }
            // Changing _isHigh boolean value to true when it is false and false when it is true.
            _isHigh = !_isHigh;
          },
          },

Query 2: How to format the text in the tooltip like in the dataLabels.

You can achieve your requirement by using the builder property in the TooltipBehavior. By using this, you can format the tooltip text, like in the dataLabels based on the seriesIndex. We have shared code snippet, screenshot, user guide documentation, and sample for your reference.
