HeaderConfig schema wrapper

Parameters:
formatstr, dict, Dict

When used with the default "number" and "time" format type, the text formatting pattern for labels of guides (axes, legends, headers) and text marks.

See the format documentation for more examples.

When used with a custom formatType, this value will be passed as format alongside datum.value to the registered function.

Default value: Derived from numberFormat config for number format and from timeFormat config for time format.

formatTypestr

The format type for labels. One of "number", "time", or a registered custom format type.

Default value:

  • "time" for temporal fields and ordinal and nominal fields with timeUnit.

  • "number" for quantitative fields as well as ordinal and nominal fields without timeUnit.

labelAligndict, Align, ExprRef, Literal[‘left’, ‘center’, ‘right’]

Horizontal text alignment of header labels. One of "left", "center", or "right".

labelAnchorTitleAnchor, Literal[None, ‘start’, ‘middle’, ‘end’]

The anchor position for placing the labels. One of "start", "middle", or "end". For example, with a label orientation of top these anchor positions map to a left-, center-, or right-aligned label.

labelAnglefloat

The rotation angle of the header labels.

Default value: 0 for column header, -90 for row header.

labelBaselinestr, dict, ExprRef, Baseline, TextBaseline, Literal[‘top’, ‘middle’, ‘bottom’]

The vertical text baseline for the header labels. One of "alphabetic" (default), "top", "middle", "bottom", "line-top", or "line-bottom". The "line-top" and "line-bottom" values operate similarly to "top" and "bottom", but are calculated relative to the titleLineHeight rather than titleFontSize alone.

The font weight of the header label.

labelLimitdict, float, ExprRef

The maximum length of the header label in pixels. The text value will be automatically truncated if the rendered size exceeds the limit.

Default value: 0, indicating no limit
