Customize Series Item Label position

[Nitin]

Guys,

I have created a stacked bar chart and I want the Series Item label to be shown besides the segment.
As of now it shows above the segment. I played around with the API and found that it can be positioned either inside or outside.
Can I somehow place the text label besides the segment?

Cheers,
Nitin

Ok, I posted too soon.
Heres how i did it

put the following piece of code in the chart prerender event

 

For seriescount As Integer = 0 To RadChart1.Series.Count - 1

 

 

For itemcount As Integer = 0 To RadChart1.Series(seriescount).Items.Count - 1

 

    RadChart1.Series(seriescount).Item(itemcount).Label.Appearance.LabelLocation = 
    Telerik.Charting.Styles.StyleSeriesItemLabel.ItemLabelLocation.Outside

    RadChart1.Series(seriescount).Item(itemcount).Label.Appearance.Position.AlignedPosition = 
    Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Right

 

Next

Hi Nitin ,

You can also do this for the entire series:
RadChart1.Series(0).Appearance.LabelAppearance.LabelLocation = Telerik.Charting.Styles.StyleSeriesItemLabel.ItemLabelLocation.Outside

Then you will not need to loop through all the items. Note, that if your chart is databound this code should come after databinding, so you are sure the series already exists.

Hi Antonio,

In Telerik Reporting you need to apply these changes in the NeedDataSource event handler. If the chart is populated manually, by adding ChartSeries, you should add these lines after the actual ChartSeries are added to the chart.
