Putting label in barseries into bar

[Matthias]

Hello,
since my labels on a bar series (with maximum 6 categories) are sometimes pretty long, I have the following LabelTemplate:

                        <telerikChart:CategoricalAxis.LabelTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Width="120" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </telerikChart:CategoricalAxis.LabelTemplate>
                
But unfortunately this give very height labels, and reduces the height of the chart. So I want to put those labels into the bar itself and save the space, like LabelDefinitions - but there it shows me the value instead of the category.

You have any ideas, how to achieve this?

Hello Matthias,

Thanks for writing.
This is actually a feature that we are currently working on. We called it outer/inner labels. In a future release you will be able to specify whether the labels are drawn inside the chart or outside it. For now this is not possible however.

Please write again if you have other questions.

Regards,
Victor
