Can categories be displayed via dataLabels?

[diomed]

I see that series can, but how would I display categories in bar as well?

I will put the above example in website demo pages soon.

For now, you can try the following code to achieve the same result

{ 
  plotOptions: {
    bar: {
      horizontal: true,
      dataLabels: {
          position: 'bottom'
      },
    }
  },
  dataLabels: {
    enabled: true,
    textAnchor: 'start',
    style: {
        colors: ['#fff']
    },
    formatter: function(val, opt) {
        return opt.globals.labels[opt.dataPointIndex] + ":  " + val
    },
    offsetX: 0,
  },
  yaxis: {
    labels: {
      show: false
    }
  }
}
