Superposed labels

I have a piechart with aprox. 15 labels, but these turn out to be superposed: how can I solve it?

Thank you
Cristina

Make sure you are using a recent release of JFreeChart, the pie labelling is much better than it was. If that doesn't help, then you'll need to look at consolidating some of the items in your dataset - you can either do that in your own code or make use of the limitPieDataset() method in the DatasetUtilities class.

Thank you for your help. The version that I am using is 0.9.21: is there newer anyone?

Actually I am implementing a MultiplePieChart, with DefaultCategoryDataset

I cannot apply the method that you say to me, it gives me ClassCastException

thank you very much again

In the multi pie plot, there is less room for labels. Also, this class uses a CategoryDataset as its source of data, so you have less scope to consolidate small value items (it could be done, but you'd need to write the code yourself to handle this).
