# Welcome to the Highcharts Maps JS (highmaps) Options Reference

These pages outline the chart configuration options, and the methods and properties of Highcharts objects.

Feel free to search this API through the search bar or the navigation tree in the sidebar.

# plotOptions.mappoint.dataLabels.textPath

Options for a label text which should follow marker's shape. Border and background are disabled for a label that follows a path.

Note: Only SVG-based renderer supports this option. Setting `useHTML` to true will disable this option.

Text path support is not bundled into `highcharts.js`, and requires the `modules/textpath.js` file. However, it is included in the script files of those series types that use it by default.
