We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).
Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.
Additional information:
We have added the resolveLabelOverlapping option to the root configuration object of dxChart and dxPieChart. In dxChart, you can resolve overlapping by arranging labels that belong to series points with the same argument in a stack. For this purpose, set the resolveLabelOverlapping option to 'stack'. In dxPieChart, you can shift point labels from their positions to resolve overlapping. For this purpose, set the resolveLabelOverlapping option to 'shift'. In both dxChart and dxPieChart, you can also hide certain point labels by assigning 'hide' to this option.
I would also like to see this fixed.
@Devexpress, are you going to fix this issue? I need to determine my course for developing an application that heavily depends on visable labels with no rotation (the attachment has rotation) and no overlap.
If you could give an indication of the realisation of this point please. If it wont be a feature I would also like to know, I then would have to change chart lib.
Hello Stefan,
Currently, I am unable to provide you with an estimated time frame. We refrain from announcing any specific features for a product in R&D prior to its release. We take this position for many reasons, including the fact that by promising X or Y, some developers may end up planning their development schedules around our promised feature set, which can change at any time. We will keep this feature on our radar, but it is still premature to discuss when it will be available for release.
