Disable dataLabel if its width is more than height of its bar in highCharts
I have created a chart using HighCharts and I want to disable any dataLabel if its width is more than height of its bar(bar cannot accomodate the dataLabel). I set the property 'enabled : false' of dataLabel of particular points but the effect is not being reflected in the chart.

<div id="container" style="min-width: 100px; max-width: 400px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>
<script language="javascript">
var pointSelected = {};
var pointHovered = {};
//Highcharts.chart('container',
var chartObject = {
chart: {
type: 'bar',
events : {
render : function(){
var ch = this;
var series = this.series;
ch.series.forEach(function(s){
s.points.forEach(function(point){
var barHeight = point.graphic.element.height.animVal.value;
var dataLabelWidth = point.dataLabel.width;
var plotBoxWidth = ch.plotBox.width;
console.log(plotBoxWidth);
if(barHeight + dataLabelWidth < plotBoxWidth) {
// console.log(barHeight + dataLabelWidth);
// console.log("point will lie inside");
}
//else{
if(dataLabelWidth > barHeight){
//USING JQUERY IT CAN BE DONE BUT I WANT TO AVOID JQUERY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE $(point.dataLabel.element).fadeOut("fast");
point.dataLabel.alignOptions.enabled = false; //THIS IS WHERE I'M DISABLING POINT
console.log(point)
// point.update({dataLabels : {enabled : false}});
//ch.options.plotOptions.series.dataLabels.enabled = false;
}
if(barHeight + dataLabelWidth > plotBoxWidth){
// console.log(barHeight + dataLabelWidth);
var diff = barHeight + dataLabelWidth - plotBoxWidth;
// console.log(diff);
// var x = point.dataLabel.translateX;
// var y = point.dataLabel.translateY;
// console.log(x);
// console.log(point);
//// diff +=15;
var diff2 = barHeight - dataLabelWidth;
// console.log("diff2" + diff2);
point.dataLabel.translate( diff2 , point.dataLabel.alignAttr.y );
// console.log( point.dataLabel.text);
//point.dataLabel.stork("black");

</script>
</body>
</html>I have solved the problem using jQuery but if it can be done simply by setting property that will be great. Also , why the effect is not being reflected if the property is set??
Thanks.

It should work with your configuration, this is how dataLabels should be configured:
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
crop: true,
overflow: 'none',
// inside: true // by default it's outside the bar
}
}
},
