Graph builder bar chart data label control

I'd like to see the ability to set the font, location in the bar, and decimal format in the graph builder platform for the bar chart data labels.  Right now the only option is to change the default Font setting for all charts to get the data fonts to be what you need.  This need to be able to be changed on a per graph basis along with the additional formatting options.

Please bring this request back. This is a critical feature for making graphs for presentations.

I agree with @Tom_M1, this is still a needed customization!

 

@Ryan_Gilmore 

Should I resubmit the request?

In addition to the options in the original request by @shampton82, I'd also like to have the option to rotate the bar chart data label vertical.

I just found this wish - after submitting my own version:
Graphbuilder: option to rotate - and position - labels 

If this wish gets accepted, please also add a option to rotate the Labels via the GUI.
Up to now, it's just possible to rotate the labels via JSL scripting.

"bar chart label control"
besides specifying the vertical position along a bar, like discussed in Graph Builder Bar Graph Label Offset , please also provide a way to  specify the "alignment":
- "centered"
- "left"
- "right"
- distance to 0 ?

to get nicer looking graphs:

besides bar chart, please also add an option for Heatmap plots to move and rotate the labels.

 

plot on the left: bars - like expected

plot on the right: heatmap - no effect
