TelerikReports-chart.png

I'm trying to create test report with chart and here what I have:

this.chart3.BitmapResolution = 96F;

this.chart3.ChartTitle.Appearance.Visible = false;

this.chart3.ChartTitle.Visible = false;

this.chart3.DataSource = this.sqlDataSource2;

this.chart3.DefaultType = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesType.Pie;

this.chart3.ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Emf;

this.chart3.Location = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.PointU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0D, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(7.800079345703125D, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));

this.chart3.Name = "chart3";

chartMargins5.Bottom = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit(1D, Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.UnitType.Percentage);

chartMargins5.Left = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit(1D, Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.UnitType.Percentage);

chartMargins5.Right = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit(24D, Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.UnitType.Percentage);

chartMargins5.Top = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit(1D, Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.UnitType.Percentage);

this.chart3.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins = chartMargins5;

this.chart3.PlotArea.XAxis.MinValue = 1D;

chartSeries1.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels;

chartSeries1.Appearance.ShowLabelConnectors = true;

chartSeries1.DataLabelsColumn = "Department";

chartSeries1.DataYColumn = "TotalJobs";

chartSeries1.Name = "Jobs";

chartSeries1.Type = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesType.Pie;

this.chart3.Series.AddRange(new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries[] {

chartSeries1});

this.chart3.Size = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.SizeU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(5.7999601364135742D, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(2.8998820781707764D, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));

Result attached in TelerikReports-chart file.

My questions:
1) How I can fix data labels? Right now some of them overlay other. See "Human Resources" and "Healthcare" at the bottom of img.
2) I want to display numbers in data labels and text in legend. For example "Sales/Marketing" should be replaced to 60, but legend should be the same.

Thanks

I resolved my second issue with tip from http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/reporting/telerik-reporting/pie-chart-legend-is-showing-item1-2.aspx, but I think that should be another way to solve it and continue use DataSource. If no then may be I should create feature request or something else?

About first issue:
I have similar problem with StackedBar. You can find screeenshot in TelerikReports-StackedBar. I need advice how I can fix issue with data labels for small bars.
