I use chart component but each point doesn't show value.  
I want to know how to show each point value?

Don't forget to tag _Perspective_ or _Vision_ when posting a question (when it's relevant). I've fixed it for you.

Hi [wangjun\_ming\_1996](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/wangjun_ming_1996),

There is a property on the Vision Chart component called "Show Tooltips?".

If this property is set to true you can view the value of a point by hovering over it with the mouse.

If you are looking to display all of the values all the time, you can go to [https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/) and submit that as an idea for a new feature.

Put this in configureChart

```auto
from java.text import NumberFormat
from org.jfree.chart.labels import StandardCategoryItemLabelGenerator

plot = chart.getPlot()
renderer = plot.getRenderer()
renderer.setBaseItemLabelGenerator(StandardCategoryItemLabelGenerator("{2}", NumberFormat.getNumberInstance()))
renderer.setBaseItemLabelsVisible(True)

```
