Annotation help

Question
-
I have a pie chart and some of the slices are very thin. I'm trying to annotations to display their labels so that it's more readable, but hoestly I'm totally confused. All of the dimensions for the annotation seem to act in odd ways (weird scaling issue, having to use negative dims).
Is there a good tutorial on them or better yet, is there an automatic way to generate the callouts. The cart is build from data provided by a datasource.

I don't think annotations will be able to help you with very thin slices in the Pie chart... I would suggest using features like Collected Pie Slice when all small slices shown as a single collected slice.

Thanks and I'll certainly look in to that, but I'd also like to understand how Annotations work and why thier positioning/etc seems to be so wonky.Monday, December 15, 2008 9:57 PM

Annotations may use different coordinate systems. They can be positioned using relative coordinate system of the chart which uses percentage (0-100%) or they can use chart axes scales. Check out Samples Framework for more information.
