Pie chart doesn't display list of arguments

Post by kgb2013 »

Hello.

I have a pie chart and I am trying to show some labels to each pie slice.
I have managed to do the same thing with bar charts, but it doesn't seem to work with pie charts.
I have seen your online sample called "Global Growth 2008" (http://web.stimulsoft.com/View/Reports/ ... Growth2008) and it uses "Argument Data Column" to do this.
I need to use the "list of arguments" property instead and it doesn't work. It shows the value instead of the arguments.

I attach a demo MRT.
I want to see the A,B,C,D and I see the 1,6,8,7.

Hello.

Please, set next properties of the Chart to True:

Series Labels - Legend Value
Series Labels - Value Type

Thank you.

Hello.

I have set :
Series Label -> Value Type = Argument-Value
and
Series Label -> Legend Value Type = Argument-Value

..but I see no difference in the web preview of the designer (see attached images).

Hello.

You should set these setting not of the Series but of the Chart component or change the Show Series Labels property.

Thank you.

Oh!
I thought the series properties UI was the same with the chart properties UI.
Sorry for not seeing this sooner.

Thanks.

OK.
I will just mention a small detail that may help you improve your reports:
When showing labels that are not small enough, they get outside the chart:

I don't know if there is a workaround for that already.

I guess I could put the series labels inside the chart.
Maybe this solves the problem partially.

EDIT:
Yep. Much better:
