[Solved] Text inside of donut + weird legend labels

[Andreas]

Hello Telerik,

1) First off, is there any easy way of putting text within the donut chart? Example:

So far I've just been using the margin attribute in the textblock tag to do this, but it doesn't really work out that well.

2) When I'm binding RadLegendControl with {Binding Title} I get the percentage of respective part of the pie chart, not the actual title (which should be text from the List:

data.Add(new Data { Category = "Test1", Value =10 });
data.Add(new Data { Category = "Test2", Value = 20 });

I've tried setting {Binding Category}, but XAML didn't like that.

Thanks!

I partly solved the text inside the donut by using this; since the donut was wrapped in a fitting grid. However, I'd still love to know if there's any other method, preferred by you, to do this, as my method might not always work.

HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"

Hello Andreas,

At this point we do not provide such functionality. However you can log this as a feature request in our Ideas and Feedback Portal where you can also vote for already existing one and follow their status.

About the other question - in order to generate custom LegendTitles you can use DoughnutSeries.LegendTitleBinding property and bind it to your Category property. Here's an example:

<telerik:DoughnutSeries.LegendTitleBinding>
    <telerik:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="Category"/>
</telerik:DoughnutSeries.LegendTitleBinding>

I hope this information is useful. Let me know if I can assist you in some other way.

 

Kind regards,
