Silverlight RadChart labels location issue

[Alexey]

Hello,

I use RadChart to implement pie chart.

Mostly it works perfect but sometimes it can't find an optimal way to locate labels (see the attached file, one label gets cut off).

The SmartLabels mode is enable.

Here is my code:

<tcc:RadChart Grid.Row="1" x:Name="pieChart" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent" UseDefaultLayout="False" >
                <tcc:RadChart.AnimationSettings>
                    <tch:AnimationSettings DefaultSeriesDelay="00:00:00" ItemAnimationDuration="00:00:00.25" ItemDelay="00:00:00"/>
                </tcc:RadChart.AnimationSettings>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="3*" />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <tch:ChartArea x:Name="chartArea" LegendName="chartLegend" SmartLabelsEnabled="True" Height="460" Margin="0" Padding="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemClick="ChartArea_ItemClick"/>
                    <tch:ChartLegend x:Name="chartLegend" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource PieChartLegendStyle}" Height="460" Margin="0" Padding="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" LegendItemStyle="{StaticResource CustomChartLegendItemStyle}"/>
                </Grid>
            </tcc:RadChart>

Is there a way to solve this issue?

Hello Alexey,

Note that RadChart is our old charting component that has known issues and limitations. This is why the new RadChartView was created. RadChartView brings better implementation and improved performance. Also, it is easier to set up and quite flexible. You can read about the differences between the charts in the RadChart vs. RadChartView help article.

You can try the RadChartView smart label feature which is demonstrated in the Pie Smart Labels demo.
