Attribution Plugin

[methnen]

Feature Proposal

Again referencing a Highcharts feature. There's been a "credits" feature there for a long time:

https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/credits

They use it by default to tack "Highcharts" to the corner of all charts. That's of course not awesome but the feature is easily turned off or alternately used to provide a handy attribution text/link for the data in the chart.

Feature Use Case

It's a feature I've used for some time and would like to be able to continue to use.

Possible Implementation

Again this feels fairly simple, I'm guessing a somewhat modified version fo the Title plugin would do this somewhat easily since it simply ads some text to a specified corner of the chart with whatever additional padding/space is needed to fit it. My JS foo isn't up to the task sadly.

I guess this is something that is best implemented by a custom plugin because I don't think this is a use case a lot of people would use

[etimberg]

I agree that this should probably live externally. It should be trivial to implement using the title plugin as a base. The key will be making layout work correctly

A very trivial starting point (versions in top right corner):

@kurkle Looks like this might do what I need.

Can it handle links?

I'll try to look at this in more detail over the next week.
