Attaching the Chart Label by Data Point and Y Value

The two methods, attaching the ChartLabel by data coordinate and attaching the ChartLabel by data point, can be combined so that a ChartLabel is attached to a location whose X-coordinate is specified by a data point and whose Y-coordinate is specified by a chart value. Note that this method is not supported in Pie charts.

To attach the ChartLabel by data point and Y value, set the AttachMethod property to AttachMethodEnum.DataIndexY, and then under the AttachMethodData object set the GroupIndex, SeriesIndex, PointIndex, and Y properties.

To write code in Visual Basic

Visual Basic	Copy Code
With C1Chart1.ChartLabels.LabelsCollection(0) .AttachMethod = AttachMethodEnum.DataIndex .AttachMethodData.GroupIndex = 0 .AttachMethodData.SeriesIndex = 1 .AttachMethodData.PointIndex = 2 .AttachMethodData.Y = 15.8 End With

To write code in C#

C#	Copy Code
C1.Win.C1Chart.Label lab = c1Chart1.ChartLabels.LabelsCollection[0]; lab.AttachMethod = AttachMethodEnum.DataIndex; lab.AttachMethodData.GroupIndex = 0; lab.AttachMethodData.SeriesIndex = 1; lab.AttachMethodData.PointIndex = 2; lab.AttachMethodData.Y = 15.8;

In this example, the ChartLabel location is specified as follows:

The X-coordinate of the second point in the first data series becomes the X-coordinate of the chart label.
The Y-coordinate specified by the Y property becomes the Y-coordinate of the chart label.

Note: This method is not supported in Pie charts.
