Description
Something like this:
function lineLabel(data, options = {}) {
const {
x,
y,
z,
dx = 4,
frameAnchor = "left",
stroke,
text = stroke !== undefined ? stroke : z,
...rest
} = options;
return Plot.marks(
Plot.line(data, options),
Plot.text(data, Plot.selectLast({x, y, z, fill: stroke, text, dx, frameAnchor, ...rest}))
);
}
Then you’d say:
Plot.plot({
style: {
overflow: "visible"
},
y: {
zero: true
},
marks: [
Plot.lineLabel(industries, {x: "date", y: "unemployed", stroke: "industry"})
]
})

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed JavaScript implementation and comparing the behavior of Plot.line, Plot.text, and Plot.selectLast. Clarify the intended lineLabel API and verify the example rendering; done means the convenience mark and shown labeled-line usage are accepted and work as described.
