Hello Dave,
Currently graph and map's data point labels do not respect their
BackgroundColor property, because their rendering representation consists of just a static text element to ensure faster processing. However, based on users demand we plan to add support for
BackgroundColor in a future release of our product.
Regards,
Ivan Hristov
