Aspose::Words::Drawing::Charts::ChartDataLabel::get_ShowCategoryName method

ChartDataLabel::get_ShowCategoryName method

Allows to specify if category name is to be displayed for the data labels on a chart. Default value is false.

bool Aspose::Words::Drawing::Charts::ChartDataLabel::get_ShowCategoryName()

Shows how to apply labels to data points in a line chart.
