show pie chart smart Lines conditionally

[raga.d]

Hi,

I have a requirement to not to show the label for a slice if it's less than 5%. I'm able to hide the label but not the smart lines.

Label property is available at the slice level but the smart lines property is available only the chart level. If I enable the smart lines, it's applied to entire chart. Is there a way to hide the smart line for a particular slice?

Hi Raga,

Welcome to FusionCharts forum.

You can disable the smart labels (if required to save chart space or when there are few pie segments) using enableSmartLabels='0'. When the smart labels are switched off, the pie labels would be displayed without the smart label lines.

Please note, the attribute "enableSmartLabels" is an attribute of the <chart> element, hence will get effected on all dataplots.

Hope this helps.

Hi Basundhara,

I have a similar requirement to disable smart lines at slice level conditionally (we do not want to show label and smart line of the % is < 2. We are suppress label but lines do show up and there is no way to control them at slice level). Due to this limitation in FusionCharts, I am not able to meet my customer requirement to suppress lines and labels for % < 2.

Can you please suggest any alternatives OR workaround to suppress lines without labels? This sounds like a reasonable nice to have feature. If there are no workaround, Can you please consider providing an enhancement (if control at slice level for smart lines is difficult to provide, even a new chart level flag indicating not to draw the lines if the label is not provided will do). Otherwise it is being percieved as a bug to display a line without a label.

Customer is pushing us to explore alternative pie-chart drawing tools that have this capability but we like all the features of FusionCharts that we currently use and would like to stick to using your product.

Please help. Thanks for your help in advance

 

Thanks

Hi Sanjukta,

Thanks for your response. The post you referred to solves the problem by disabling the lines altogether - shows only labels. But my requirement is to show both the lines and labels. If the label is empty or not specified, I don't want the line to show up with no label either (I do not set the label for the slices whose % is < 2). Currently lines show up for all slices even if label is not specified for slices < 2%. Let me know if you have any solution for my issue.

Thanks

VJ

Hi,

I am afraid, the Pie charts of the FusionCharts suite does not support the removal of the smart label for any one set element, as of now.
