showLeaderLines property

ChartDataLabelCollection.showLeaderLines property

Allows to specify whether data label leader lines need be shown for the data labels of the entire series. Default value is false.

get showLeaderLines(): boolean

Remarks

Applies to Pie charts only. Leader lines create a visual connection between a data label and its corresponding data point.

Value defined for this property can be overridden for an individual data label with using the ChartDataLabel.showLeaderLines property.

Examples

let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);

let chart = builder.insertChart(aw.Drawing.Charts.ChartType.Pie, 500, 300).chart;

// Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
chart.series.clear();

// Insert a custom chart series with a category name for each of the sectors, and their frequency table.
let series = chart.series.add("Aspose Test Series",
  [ "Word", "PDF", "Excel" ],
  [ 2.7, 3.2, 0.8 ]);

// Enable data labels that will display both percentage and frequency of each sector, and modify their appearance.
series.hasDataLabels = true;
let dataLabels = series.dataLabels;
dataLabels.showLeaderLines = true;
dataLabels.showLegendKey = true;
dataLabels.showPercentage = true;
dataLabels.showValue = true;
dataLabels.separator = "; ";

doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "Charts.DataLabelsPieChart.docx");
