Pie series arrow

I thought I had seen a post on this before, but I can't find it. I've got a pie that has two slices near the top and slightly to the left. The marks for both slices show up on the left. The text that shows up, correctly, on the top is a little long and I've got it set to wrap. All this works fine.

My problem is that since the text for the second slice needs to be moved down the arrow now runs through the pie. How can I fix that? I guess I need to put a bend in the arrow.

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

What about LegSize?

Code: Select all

pie1.MarksPie.LegSize = 25;
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure if that will work or not. I have a function called DrawAnnotations that places the labels and draws the line from text to the slice of the pie. I guess I need to draw multiple lines to get the desired effect? Any samples of this anywhere to make sure I'm not hitting the pie?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I can only think about the example Pep posted here.
