Map data labels

[hughess]

Description

Option to include labels inside the areas of an AreaMap (and possibly also inside the points of a Point or Bubble Map).

Would save user from having to hover the area/point and would make map more suitable for printing/PDF.

What problem would this solve?

No response

How should it work?

I think a prop similar to labels for charts would work here (e.g., labels=true).

Difficulty will be offering customization of the label, which I think is more necessary here than in a chart. For example, if I had a collection of regions on the map with sales data and contribution margins, I might want the label to show:

• Region name
• Sales
• Margin %

Or some subset of those. Configuring the custom label could be challenging.

If we want to offer full customization, I think AreaMap tooltips are the best place to copy the interface

If we want to offer semi-configurable labels, I think ReferenceLine is the best place to look (default with parts that can be turned off)
