Pie-Chart: Problem with Point-Labels

[Doc Holliday]

Hello,

In my Pie-Charts the PointLabels will be file:///C:/DOKUME%7E1/HKOELB%7E1.DAP/LOKALE%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpgtruncated. (see attachment)
I'm using the following code for initialization.

  ((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleries.Pie)m_Chart.GalleryAttributes).Square = true;
  ((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleries.Pie)m_Chart.GalleryAttributes).LabelsInside = false;
  ((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleries.Pie)m_Chart.GalleryAttributes).LabelLineBreak = 10;
  ((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleries.Pie)m_Chart.GalleryAttributes).Stacked = false;
  ((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleries.Pie)m_Chart.GalleryAttributes).MaximumLabelMargin = 100;

In other Posts in this Forum I get the information that I have to set  MaximumLabelMargin = 100.
But it doesn't work.

Is their any other possibility to force the Pie-Chart not to truncate the Labels ?

We were able to reproduce this problem and determined it was a bug. A fix will be included in the next Hotfix/Service pack. Please contact Software FX support for availability.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi ,

I am also facing the same problem

 Is the hot fix there in ChartFx 7?

This problem is fixed. Notice that labels can be clipped if the MaximumLabelMargin (Pie class) is set to less than 100.

If yo want to guarantee no labels will be clipped (as long as there is room to show them) set:

((ChartFX.WinForms.Galleies.Pie) chart.GalleryAttributes).MaximumLabelMargin = 100;

Notice that by doing this you are allowing the pie itself to become very tiny in favor of displaying the labels.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. 

I have tried the same in the past. As i have large label names, finally i am getting a 1/2 cm diameter pie

 The only possible solution which can help me is "Wrap the label text". Is it possible??

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no built-in feature to enable label-wrapping. However, as a workaround you can specify a line break (\n) when defining a value for the text property of the point class:

Chart1.AllSeries.PointLabels.Format =

"%L";Chart1.Points[0, 0].Text = "Line1 \n Line 2";
