How to display label in Pieseries for Phone

[enamul]

I am newbie to Telerik controls. Trying to create a pie chart with lables, but not able to find a complete example in Telerik help files.

xaml

<chart:RadPieChart x:Name="gPie" Margin="27,95,143,276" Grid.Row="1" DataContext="{Binding}">
            <chart:PieSeries ShowLabels="True" DataContext="{Binding}">
                <chart:PieSeries.SliceStyles>
                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Magenta"/>
                    </Style>

                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="LimeGreen"/>
                    </Style>

                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="DarkOrange"/>
                    </Style>

                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Purple"/>
                    </Style>

                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Green"/>
                    </Style>

                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Red"/>
                    </Style>
                    <Style TargetType="Path">
                        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Blue"/>
                    </Style>
                </chart:PieSeries.SliceStyles>

                <!--<chart:PieSeries.LabelTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
                               FontSize="14"
                               Foreground="{StaticResource PhoneBackgroundBrush}"
                               FontWeight="Bold"/>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </chart:PieSeries.LabelTemplate>-->
            </chart:PieSeries>
        </chart:RadPieChart>

And I am setting the value in C#:

this.gPie.Series[0].ItemsSource = new double[] { iFajr, iDohr, iAsr, iMagrib, iEsha, iFasting, iHajj };

The pie chart displays fine with %-tile lable for each item. But I like to use custom lable for them. How do I do it? Also, Is there a way to display the lables on the side (with a color icon and corresponding text), not on the chart itself?

enamul, it looks like you can do part of what you want by using Standard Numeric Format Strings (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k.aspx).  E.g. if you set LabelFormat on the PieSeries to "n2" you will get the percentages in decimals of two digits with no percent sign.

However, what I want to do is just show the actual values that I specified as the PieDataPoints (whole numbers).  What is the recommended way to do that?

Hello Enamul,

Thanks for the question

If I understood you correctly you are asking whether the chart can display a legend? If this is indeed your requirement you will have to create the legend manually, since RadChart does not yet support automatic legend generation. Currently, all customization of the labels should be done within the LabelTemplate in the pie series. For special formatting you can use a binding converter that converts the actual label string to anything you deem appropriate for your scenario.

Please write again if you have other questions.
