[Solved] Label position for horizontal bar chart

[Nazia]

Hi,

 I am creating a horizontal bar chart and setting its lables like

barseries.LabelDefinitions.Add(new ChartSeriesLabelDefinition { Margin = new Thickness(0, 0, 0, 0) });

But the labels gets displayed at the right side.I need them at the top of each bar.

In case of vertical bar, it displays automatically at the top of each bar.

How do I get the same feature for horizontal bar chart?

Hi Nazia,

Thank you for contacting us and for your question.

You can alter the HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment of the ChartSeriesLabelDefinition object:

<telerik:BarSeries ShowLabels="True">
    <telerik:BarSeries.LabelDefinitions>
        <telerik:ChartSeriesLabelDefinition HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,0,0,0">
        </telerik:ChartSeriesLabelDefinition>
    </telerik:BarSeries.LabelDefinitions>
</telerik:BarSeries>

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.

What if I want to build a horizontal bar chart where the field numbers are on one side (in this case the left side) when the data is positive, and the other side (in this case the right side) when the data is negative? I've attached an image of a mock-up made in Excel for reference.

Hi Matt,

I have attached a small example, showing how to achieve this.
