Donut RadChart View Overlap And Not Show the smart label, (using smartlabel and donut series)

[Genda]

I have a problem about the donut chart and the labels that are displayed ..

How do I organize and display labels that are not drawn due to the previously set space, so that they become visible? thank you, I hope someone finds a solution to this problem ..

Hello, Genda,

RadChartView’s SmartLabelsController uses strategies specific to different chart types to resolve label overlaps. The default available strategies are FourPositionsLabelsStrategy, EightPositionsLabelsStrategy, PieTwoLabelColumnsStrategy, VerticalAdjusmentLabelsStrategy. You can find below a sample code snippet demonstrating how to adjust some settings of the strategy:

public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            List<KeyValuePair<double, object>> data = new List<KeyValuePair<double, object>>(); 
 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(46, "Samsung")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(43.5, "Apple")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(19, "RIM")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(15, "Huawei")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(14, "Other")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(12, "Siemens")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(11.5, "Panasonic")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(8, "Nokia")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(6.5, "Sony")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(3.5, "Fujitsu")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(3, "HTC")); 
            data.Add(new KeyValuePair<double, object>(2, "Motorola")); 

            this.radChartView1.AreaType = ChartAreaType.Pie;
            DonutSeries series = new DonutSeries();
            foreach (KeyValuePair<double, object> dataItem in data) 
            { 
                PieDataPoint point = new PieDataPoint(dataItem.Key, dataItem.Value.ToString()); 
                point.Label = dataItem.Value.ToString(); 
                series.DataPoints.Add(point); 
 
                point = new PieDataPoint(dataItem.Key, dataItem.Value.ToString()); 
                point.Label = dataItem.Value.ToString(); 
                series.DataPoints.Add(point); 
            }
            series.ShowLabels = true;
            this.radChartView1.Series.Add(series);
            series.DrawLinesToLabels = true;

            SmartLabelsController controler = new SmartLabelsController();
            PieTwoLabelColumnsStrategy strategy = new PieTwoLabelColumnsStrategy();
            strategy.DistanceToLabel = -10;
            strategy.DistanceBetweenLabels = -10;
            controler.Strategy = strategy;
            this.radChartView1.Controllers.Add(controler);
        }

Note that you can implement your own label's strategy and thus implement custom algorithm for placing the labels. You can find here a sample approach for implementing your own strategy: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/chartview/features/smart-labels#custom-labels-strategy
