Labels are cut of

[christian.trummer]

i use fusionchart v3.0

 

in my pie charts some labels are cut off. how can i avoid that??

Is this happening when the chart renders initially, or does it happen when you rotate the chart?

If it's happening initially, can you please send us the XML file for the chart, along with following details:

• Width and Height of Chart
• Version of Chart Used

ok i attached the zip

Hi,

Thanks for the files.

In your case, your chart width is very small compared to labels. You've a chart width of 300 with longer labels in data. FusionCharts reserves a minimum of 25% of width (or height) or the available plot area as pie chart radius. As such, if you've longer labels forcing the pie to get a radius below 25% of plot width/height, you'll either need to

• Increase chart width
• Or, explicitly set the pie radius in XML in pixels (e.g., <chart pieRadius='30' ...>

How did you add the lines pointing from each slice to its label/value. When the slice is too smal, my labels/values are overlapped.

[Pallav]

FusionCharts v3 Pie chart automatically enables the smart lines, when the labels/values are overlapping.

i have the same issue with pie charts. my canvas is around 300px and the auto sizing of the radius makes the pie chart too small since the smart labels require so much space.

 

 

 

would be great if the smart labels were alittle "smarter" in that they tried to maximize the radius and move the labels above / below the chart (instead of trying to squeeze them horizontally) and just connect using the smart lines. there is usually more vertical whitespace that goes unused while the smart labels shrink the pie radius and only seem to take advantage of horizontal space.
