Pie Chart labelling visual issues

[Brian Mains]

Hello,

On some of our pie charts, the label's overlap each other and make the number's hard to read.  This can be because the pie chart slices are small.  This is producing a visual issue.  Is there a workaround to this?  Can I force the numbers to come out farther away from the pie chart?

Thanks.

You might want to look into using label connectors. You can use this code-behind to do it:

RadChart1.Series[0].Appearance.ShowLabelConnectors = true;
RadChart1.Series[0].Appearance.LabelAppearance.Distance = 10;
RadChart1.Series[0].Appearance.LabelAppearance.LabelConnectorStyle.Color = Color.Blue;

Or if you prefer the declaration approach:

<telerik:ChartSeries Name="Series 1" Type="Pie">
    <appearance ShowLabelConnectors="true">
        <LabelAppearance Distance="20" LabelConnectorStyle-Color="AliceBlue">
        </LabelAppearance>
    ....

Hope this helps :)
