How fix labels placement so them not overlap in DevExpress js chart?


I need to put labels to all my charts. But the labels overlap for the density of the chart. I attach a sample.

I need to separate them. How?

I don't have modified the CSS of the lib. Using last version.

This is a sample code, can be pasted on http://js.devexpress.com/Demos/VizGallery/#chart/chartsareaseriesarea:

var labelPercent = {
    visible: true,
    format: 'percent',
    precision: 1,
};

Solution

  • By playing with jQuery and the SVG chart, you could do something like this:

    // Reduce the rectangle background of each label
    $(".dxc-labels-group rect").attr("x", "-16");
    $(".dxc-labels-group rect").attr("y", "-12");
    $(".dxc-labels-group rect").attr("width", "32");
    $(".dxc-labels-group rect").attr("height", "15");
    
    // Reduce the font-size of each label:
    $(".dxc-labels-group rect + text").css("font-size", "11px");
    
    
    // Separate the labels by moving up/down some of them
    $.each($(".dxc-labels-group .dxc-labels > g > g[transform]"), function(i, elm) {
    
        // 1) Save the original Y coord of the label
        var translateY = $(elm).attr("transform").match(/translate\(\d{1,4},(\d{1,4})\)/);
    
        if(translateY && translateY[1]) {
    
            // 2) Move up/down the label according to its color
            switch($(elm).children("rect").attr("fill")) {
    
                // 3/ For example, move up the blue ones
                case "#91bdc7":
                    var move = 30;  // Move up
                    var transform = $(elm).attr("transform").replace(/(translate\(\d{1,4},)(\d{1,4})(\))/, "$1"+(translateY[1]-move)+"$3");
                    $(elm).attr("transform", transform);
                    break;
    
                // Do similar things for other colors...
            }
        }
    });
    

    To run this code, copy/paste it in the console (with Chrome it works like a charm).
