Can't find PieSeries.LabelOffset property

[Mitchell]

Is that a new property for the Q1, 2014 release? 
Thanks - Mitch

Hi Mitchell,

I just checked and there is no LabelOffset property in our PieSeries. We have a LabelOffset property in our Axis classese (LinearAxis, CategoricalAxis ..) but the PieSeries and RadPieChart do not use axes. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Perhaps if you explain why you get such an error, and where this code originates, we can find out where the problem hides and how to solve it.

I should have told you where I read that in the first place :). It's in your online docs here: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radchartview-series-pieseries.html .

The text in question is the top of the second paragraph:
"The pie series can be customized with the following properties: LabelOffset, LabelTemplate, AngleRange, ShowLabels and RadiusFactor properties. LabelOffset determines how far from the center will the labels be positioned. "

I want to move my pie labels from the edge of the pie slices to somewhere between the center & the edge. I though that property was what I needed.

Hi Mitchell,

Thank you for this information : ) Indeed, there appears to be some mix up. I believe that this is due to the fact that there was a LabelOffset property in our old RadChart (smart labels). I have forwarded this to our support officers.

In the ChartView you need to use the LabelDefinitions collection. Add a new entry and set the Margin property. The Margin.Left is taken into consideration when arranging the labels. Do give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.
