User (Legacy) Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Would it be too difficult to allow more data points/labels visible on a chart (with the legend disabled i think means the names of points are now on the point labels, rather than just values) ive attached an example if its too hard to visualise. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 The attached chart is simply too crowded, in my opinion nobody would understand it no matter where the labels are displayed. The way labels are currently displayed is the most efficient in terms of space and clarity, however, Pie chart were not designed to display a large number of points, I honestly don't see a way of displaying such a Pie chart (with this many points) can be displayed in a clean way. -- FP Software FX Support "Peter Collins" <newkleer@bigpond.net.au> wrote in message news:oDRMn00nCHA.3152@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > Would it be too difficult to allow more data points/labels visible on a > chart (with the legend disabled i think means the names of points are now on > the point labels, rather than just values) > > ive attached an example if its too hard to visualise. > > thanks in advance > > > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted December 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 i agree mostly, it probabaly is better to have the labels layed out as they are, but in this case we would want to be able to note the large slices of the pie, and disregard all the smaller ones would it be too difficult to say have an option to disable the names/pts which take up less than say x% of the pie? this way the major slices (which would normally by most important in this type of graph) would be labelled but the whole graph wouldnt be cluttered "SfxSupport" <support@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:Z7Hk2Z4nCHA.3152@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > The attached chart is simply too crowded, in my opinion nobody would > understand it no matter where the labels are displayed.

Software FX Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 You can set PointLabels (true or false) individually for each slice using chart.Point[i].PointLabels. You can set this up based on the magnitude of the data or any other condition. -- FP Software FX Support "Peter Collins" <newkleer@bigpond.net.au> wrote in message news:LhnZjU#nCHA.3152@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > i agree mostly, it probabaly is better to have the labels layed out as they > are, but in this case we would want to be able to note the large slices of > the pie, and disregard all the smaller ones > > would it be too difficult to say have an option to disable the names/pts > which take up less than say x% of the pie? this way the major slices (which > would normally by most important in this type of graph) would be labelled > but the whole graph wouldnt be cluttered > > "SfxSupport" <support@softwarefx.com> wrote in message > news:Z7Hk2Z4nCHA.3152@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > > The attached chart is simply too crowded, in my opinion nobody would > > understand it no matter where the labels are displayed.
