Title: Outer labels doesn't work with horizontal stacked bar chart

It works fine when the bar chart is not stacked. Please refer to attached screenshot below.
Thanks,
Abhi

Labels of stacked bars are drawn above their bars in horizontal stacks, or rotated on right side of bars when vertical. I.e. if you had outer labels for the other series you'd see labels above the red and yellow bars too. We could add an option to pull all labels on the right of the whole stack if that's what you expect.

Thank you Slavcho. Yes, I'm expecting them to be on the right-hand side of the whole stack.

Try the StackOuterLabels property from this build -
https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/chart_stacklabels.zip

If enabled, it will draw labels stacked on top of the vertical bar stack, or to the right if horizontal bars.

Hey, Slavcho,
The labels got rotated 90 deg after setting the stack outer label property i.e. the orientation changed from horizontal to vertical. I have attached a screenshot for ref, also I have PM you code I'm using.

Hi Abhi ,

It's by design, so the chart can fit more labels when each series in the stack adds one. I guess we can implement a special case for when there's a single label for the whole stack, or add a property for rotation angle.

I was expecting something like this for the stacked chart control also. Horizontal Outer data labels like shown in the screenshot below.
Thanks,
Abhi

Hi Slavcho,
When can I expect new control libraries with rotation angle included for charts?
Thanks,
Abhi

Hi Abhi,

This build adds OuterLabelRotation property -
https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/chart_stacklabels.zip
[code]
barChart1.OuterLabelRotation = 0;[/code]
Works only for horizontal bar stacks at this time. We'll try to implement remaining cases in next few days.

Regards,
Slavcho

This build adds BarChart.InnerLabelRotation property you requested earlier too -
