Callout

Using Callouts

New methods getShowLabelAsDataCallout() and setShowLabelAsDataCallout() have been added to DataLabelFormat class and IDataLabelFormat interface. These methods determine either specified chart’s data label will be displayed as data callout or as data label.

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
try {
    IChart chart = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().addChart(ChartType.Pie, 50, 50, 500, 400);
    
    chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(0).getLabels().getDefaultDataLabelFormat().setShowValue(true);
    chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(0).getLabels().getDefaultDataLabelFormat().setShowLabelAsDataCallout(true);
    chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(0).getLabels().get_Item(2).getDataLabelFormat().setShowLabelAsDataCallout(false);
    
    pres.save("DisplayCharts.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}

Set Callout for Doughnut Chart

Aspose.Slides for Java provides support for setting series data label callout shape for a Doughnut chart. Below sample example is given. 

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
try {
    ISlide slide = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);
    IChart chart = slide.getShapes().addChart(ChartType.Doughnut, 10, 10, 500, 500, false);
    IChartDataWorkbook workBook = chart.getChartData().getChartDataWorkbook();
    chart.getChartData().getSeries().clear();
    chart.getChartData().getCategories().clear();
    chart.setLegend(false);
    int seriesIndex = 0;
    while (seriesIndex < 15)
    {
        IChartSeries series = chart.getChartData().getSeries().add(workBook.getCell(0, 0, seriesIndex + 1, "SERIES " + seriesIndex), chart.getType());
        series.setExplosion(0);
        series.getParentSeriesGroup().setDoughnutHoleSize((byte)20);
        series.getParentSeriesGroup().setFirstSliceAngle(351);
        seriesIndex++;
    }
    int categoryIndex = 0;
    while (categoryIndex < 15)
    {
        chart.getChartData().getCategories().add(workBook.getCell(0, categoryIndex + 1, 0, "CATEGORY " + categoryIndex));
        int i = 0;
        while (i < chart.getChartData().getSeries().size())
        {
            IChartSeries iCS = chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(i);
            IChartDataPoint dataPoint = iCS.getDataPoints().addDataPointForDoughnutSeries(workBook.getCell(0, categoryIndex + 1, i + 1, 1));
            dataPoint.getFormat().getFill().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
            dataPoint.getFormat().getLine().getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
            dataPoint.getFormat().getLine().getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(java.awt.Color.WHITE);
            dataPoint.getFormat().getLine().setWidth(1);
            dataPoint.getFormat().getLine().setStyle(LineStyle.Single);
            dataPoint.getFormat().getLine().setDashStyle(LineDashStyle.Solid);
            if (i == chart.getChartData().getSeries().size() - 1)
            {
                IDataLabel lbl = dataPoint.getLabel();
                lbl.getTextFormat().getTextBlockFormat().setAutofitType(TextAutofitType.Shape);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().getTextFormat().getPortionFormat().setFontBold(NullableBool.True);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().getTextFormat().getPortionFormat().setLatinFont(new FontData("DINPro-Bold"));
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().getTextFormat().getPortionFormat().setFontHeight(12);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().getTextFormat().getPortionFormat().getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().getTextFormat().getPortionFormat().getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(java.awt.Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().getFormat().getLine().getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(java.awt.Color.WHITE);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowValue(false);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowCategoryName(true);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowSeriesName(false);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowLeaderLines(true);
                lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowLabelAsDataCallout(false);
                chart.validateChartLayout();
                lbl.setX((float) lbl.getX()+ (float)0.5);
                lbl.setY((float)lbl.getY()+ (float)0.5);
            }
            i++;
        }
        categoryIndex++;
    }
    pres.save("chart.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
