Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is it possible to split pie chart text labels over multiple lines?

Each of my pie segments has a label that appears as one long line of words.

Is it possible to split each label over two or more lines so they fit better?

I wish I could click in the middle of the line and just hit "return" to split the line up but that doesn't seem to work.


Thanks

Hi Edward,


Click on the pie chart to make it active.

Click on the button Edit Chart Data.

To see the Chart Data.



Type the long labels with option return where you want to insert a new line ("soft return")


I found that I needed to increase Label Options > Distance from Centre (Center) and add Leader lines



Leader Lines can be Straight (as in my first screen shot) or Angled as here:




Regards,

Ian.
