rotation property

ChartDataLabel.rotation property

Gets or sets the rotation of the label in degrees.

get rotation(): number

Remarks

The range of acceptable values is from -180 to 180 inclusive. The default value is 0.

If the ChartDataLabel.orientation value is ShapeTextOrientation.Horizontal, the label shape, if it exists, is rotated along with the label text. Otherwise, only the label text is rotated.

Examples

Shows how to change orientation and rotation for data labels.

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

let shape = builder.insertChart(aw.Drawing.Charts.ChartType.Column, 432, 252);
let series = shape.chart.series.at(0);
let dataLabels = series.dataLabels;

// Show data labels.
series.hasDataLabels = true;
dataLabels.showValue = true;
dataLabels.showCategoryName = true;

// Define data label shape.
dataLabels.format.shapeType = aw.Drawing.Charts.ChartShapeType.UpArrow;
dataLabels.format.stroke.fill.solid("#00008B");

// Set data label orientation and rotation for the entire series.
dataLabels.orientation = aw.Drawing.ShapeTextOrientation.VerticalFarEast;
dataLabels.rotation = -45;

// Change orientation and rotation of the first data label.
dataLabels.at(0).orientation = aw.Drawing.ShapeTextOrientation.Horizontal;
dataLabels.at(0).rotation = 45;

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