Hi,

How do I prevent pie section labels from overlaping?
Thank your for help.

1. make the labels smaller.
2. make the labels different colored.

Hello Dave,

The PiePlot class contains the minimumArcAngleToDraw member field. Upto version 0.9.14, if a slice has angle less than the minimumArcAngleToDraw, it is left as blank in the chart. Thus this feature is totally useless to user.
Can you concatenate all small blank slices together as an OTHER slice in the end of the chart? I think you only need to modify the PiePlot.drawPie() method to concatenate the small slices and modify the legend info.
If this feature is implemented, then most font overlap issues can be solved.

Thanks a lot.

Hi:
It's a great idea, I've been using it already, but display all slices is still useful, the better way is let the user to decide which slice to be displayed.
