Attributes of text above specific bar with ios-charts

Question

How can I change attributes (e.g. font size, text color, etc...) of text above a specific bar in a BarChart?

In this example, I want "-$5,000.00" in red and to increase the font size of every text above bars.

Here's some code:

@IBOutlet weak var barChartView: BarChartView!


// init barChartView --------------------------------------
barChartView.descriptionText = ""

barChartView.legend.enabled = false

// grid lines
barChartView.xAxis.drawAxisLineEnabled = false
barChartView.xAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
barChartView.leftAxis.drawAxisLineEnabled = false
barChartView.leftAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
barChartView.rightAxis.drawAxisLineEnabled = false
barChartView.rightAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false

// X-axis line
barChartView.xAxis.drawAxisLineEnabled = true
barChartView.xAxis.axisLineColor = axisGridsAndLabelsColor

// X-axis labels
barChartView.xAxis.labelTextColor = axisGridsAndLabelsColor
barChartView.xAxis.labelPosition = .Bottom

// Y-axis labels
accountsBarChartView.leftAxis.labelTextColor = axisGridsAndLabelsColor
accountsBarChartView.rightAxis.drawLabelsEnabled = false
//---------------------------------------------------------


// bar chart's data
var dataPoints = [String]()
var values = [Double]()
var colors = [UIColor]()

// build bar chart's data...


// dataEntries and barChartDataSet
var dataEntries = [ChartDataEntry]()
for i in 0..<dataPoints.count
{
    let dataEntry = BarChartDataEntry(value: values[i], xIndex: i)
    dataEntries.append(dataEntry)
}

let barChartDataSet = BarChartDataSet(yVals: dataEntries, label: "")
barChartDataSet.colors = colors


// valueFormatter
let currencyNumberFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
currencyNumberFormatter.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
currencyNumberFormatter.minimumFractionDigits = 2
currencyNumberFormatter.maximumFractionDigits = 2

barChartDataSet.valueFormatter = currencyNumberFormatter


// barChartData
let barChartData = BarChartData(xVals: dataPoints, dataSet: barChartDataSet)
barChartView.data = barChartData

Answer 1

To set your own colors/font you can use properties valueColors and 'valueFont' of BarChartDataSet class

So it'll be something like this

...

var valueColors = [UIColor]()
// dataEntries and barChartDataSet
var dataEntries = [ChartDataEntry]()
for i in 0..<dataPoints.count
{
    let dataEntry = BarChartDataEntry(value: values[i], xIndex: i)
    dataEntries.append(dataEntry)
    if values[i] < 0 {
        valueColors.append(UIColor.redColor())
    }
    else {
        valueColors.append(UIColor.greenColor())
    }
}

let barChartDataSet = BarChartDataSet(yVals: dataEntries, label: "")
barChartDataSet.colors = colors
barChartDataSet.valueColors = valueColors
barChartDataSet.valueFont = *font you want*

Answer 2

If you want to change the text attributes of labels below bars you can use:

barChartView.xAxis.labelFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 5)

barChartView.xAxis.labelTextColor = UIColor.red
