ShowDataLabelsRange

ChartDataLabel.ShowDataLabelsRange property

Allows to specify if values from data labels range to be displayed in the data labels. Default value is false.

public bool ShowDataLabelsRange { get; set; }

Examples

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

public void DataLabels()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    Shape chartShape = builder.InsertChart(ChartType.Line, 400, 300);
    Chart chart = chartShape.Chart;

    Assert.AreEqual(3, chart.Series.Count);
    Assert.AreEqual("Series 1", chart.Series[0].Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Series 2", chart.Series[1].Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Series 3", chart.Series[2].Name);

    // Apply data labels to every series in the chart.
    // These labels will appear next to each data point in the graph and display its value.
    foreach (ChartSeries series in chart.Series)
    {
        ApplyDataLabels(series, 4, "000.0", ", ");
        Assert.AreEqual(4, series.DataLabels.Count);
    }

    // Change the separator string for every data label in a series.
    using (IEnumerator<ChartDataLabel> enumerator = chart.Series[0].DataLabels.GetEnumerator())
    {
        while (enumerator.MoveNext())
        {
            Assert.AreEqual(", ", enumerator.Current.Separator);
            enumerator.Current.Separator = " & ";
        }
    }

    // For a cleaner looking graph, we can remove data labels individually.
    chart.Series[1].DataLabels[2].ClearFormat();

    // We can also strip an entire series of its data labels at once.
    chart.Series[2].DataLabels.ClearFormat();

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Charts.DataLabels.docx");
