custom no data label in nvd3 scatter chart

Question

I am trying to have custom message instead of the "No Data Available" message which is displayed. I am using nvd3 scatter / bubble chart. I came across a suggestion here

data2 = [ 
  { 
  "key" : "A key" , 
  "values" : [[]]
  }
];

but I want to change the message. I looked at the source scatter.js but did not find "No Data Available" message. Do I need to modify another source file? How can I do so?

Answer 1

Looking at the source, it seems that you can set the message using .noData():

chart.noData("Nothing to see here.");

Answer 2

If you happen to use the Angular NVD3 wrapper, the way to set the custom message is through chart options, simply:

$scope.options = {
    chart: {
      ...
      noData: 'Your custom message',
      ...
    }
  };
