Separate Label from Visualizations

[alexsb]

Labels can very often be combined with visualizations for individual items.

Instead of having labels be part of a visualization, it should probably be a separate thing that we can switch on for items (not for groups or summaries).

Options could be just binary ("Show Label"), or it could be three states:

• Show Label
• Show Label for Selected
• No Label

a complex request since each renderer defines the content of a cell. In order to add labels as another layer on top of each, the cells needs to be wrapped such that the renderer renders in a child of cell and not the cell anymore. This also requires to adapt a lot of the CSS code since they assume that the cell = renderer space.

For some elements and cells a label can be very long, e.g. for a column with a long text, or multiple values. That might impact the performance

Hmm, ok, how about introducing two states then for each relevant renderer? One with label, one without. Would that be easier? If so, I can think through which ones would be affected.
