Pie chart section label position

[vijoy]

How can I make the pie chart section labels to be positioned adjacent to the section along the circumference of the pie without the label link and the label border showing ?

Do i have to sub-class PiePlot3D and override its draw() method in order to achieve this ?


Thanks,
Vijoy

Yes, you'll need to subclass. The original PiePlot implementation worked in the way you described, but it resulted in a lot of complaints about labels overlapping. The new code does a better (but not perfect) job of avoiding overlapping labels.

How can I make the pie/ring chart section label links to be shorter? I tried changing labelGap and labelLinkMargin attributes of the PiePlot/RingPlot but the changes did not have any effect on the link length. Right now the label links on my pie/ring chart inside JSP are too long and some of the labels are cropped because of that.

Thanks,
Arkady.

The labelGap setting should make some difference, but it is already quite a small gap (5% of the plot width). Can you post a screenshot?

Thanks, David. I think I figured out what the problem was. It's a combination of interiorGap and maximumLabelWidth settings.

Thanks again.
