SmartLabelStyle Class

Definition

Provides methods and properties used to perform intelligent, rule-based data point label positioning to resolve overlapping data point label issues.

Examples

Imports System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting  

Private Function SetSmartLabelsOptions()  

   ' Enabling the SmartLabels™ attribute.  
   Chart1.Series("Series1").SmartLabels.Enabled = true  

   ' Set the callout style.  
   Chart1.Series("Series1").SmartLabels.CalloutStyle = LabelCalloutStyle.Underlined  

   ' Set the callout line color.  
   Chart1.Series("Series1").SmartLabels.CalloutLineColor = Color.Goldenrod;  

   ' Set the callout line style.  
   Chart1.Series("Series1").SmartLabels.CalloutLineStyle = ChartDashStyle.Dash  

   ' Set the callout line width.  
   Chart1.Series("Series1").SmartLabels.CalloutLineWidth = 3   

   ' Set the callout line anchor cap.  
   Chart1.Series("Series1").SmartLabels.CalloutLineAnchorCap = LineAnchorCap.Arrow  
End Function  
using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting  

private void SetSmartLabelsOptions()  
{  
   // Enabling the SmartLabels™ attribute.  
   Chart1.Series["Series1"].SmartLabels.Enabled = true;  

   // Set the callout style.  
   Chart1.Series["Series1"].SmartLabels.CalloutStyle = LabelCalloutStyle.Underlined;  

   // Set the callout line color.  
   Chart1.Series["Series1"].SmartLabels.CalloutLineColor = Color.Goldenrod;  

   // Set the callout line style.  
   Chart1.Series["Series1"].SmartLabels.CalloutLineStyle = ChartDashStyle.Dash;  

   // Set the callout line width.  
   Chart1.Series["Series1"].SmartLabels.CalloutLineWidth = 3;  

   // Set the callout line anchor cap.  
   Chart1.Series["Series1"].SmartLabels.CalloutLineAnchorCap = LineAnchorCap.Arrow;  
}  

Remarks

When smart labels are enabled, the chart repositions overlapping data point labels, based on a set of user-defined rules.

Callout lines will be drawn to link the label with its data point. The visual attributes of the callout line can be controlled. These visual attributes include color, line style, and line width. The CalloutStyle and CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle properties control the embellishments, such as arrowheads, that appear at the end of the callout line.

The CalloutLineColor property can be set to any Color object. If you set the color of the callout line, you will also automatically set the color of the CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle and the embellishment defined by the CalloutStyle.

The CalloutLineWidth property controls the pixel width of the callout line. Use of this property will also scale the embellishments of the CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle and the CalloutStyle.

The movement of smart labels can be controlled through the use of several motion-related properties. These define the rules of movement for the direction, distance and whether the data point label is allowed to leave the plotting area. The default movement rules will normally resolve most issues. The MaxMovingDistance defines a value that specifies the maximum distance in pixels from the data point that data point labels are allowed to be moved in case of overlapping. The MinMovingDistance property defines a value that specifies the minimum distance in pixels from the data point that data point labels will be moved in case of overlapping. When a data point label needs to be repositioned, the label will be moved by at least the number of pixels specified.

The IsOverlappedHidden property indicates whether the labels are hidden when overlapping issues cannot be resolved. If the IsOverlappedHidden property is true, and the data point cannot be drawn within the area specified by MinMovingDistance and MaxMovingDistance in the directions allowed by MovingDirection, the data point label will not be drawn.

The MovingDirection property defines the direction(s) in which the data point label can be moved. This property accepts one LabelAlignmentStyles value or a bitwise-OR of multiple LabelAlignmentStyles values. The default is the bitwise-OR of all LabelAlignmentStyles values, to allow repositioning in all possible directions except to the center of the data point.

Smart labels are not supported for the following chart types:

  • Bar charts: bar and hundred-percent-stacked bar charts.

  • Shape charts: pie, doughnut, polar and radar charts.

  • Range charts: range, range column and range bar charts.

  • Stacked area charts: stacked area and hundred-percent-stacked area charts.
