Example

This example demonstrates how to make series point labels of a pie chart show their values as percentages.

Note that to achieve this at runtime, you should cast the series’ SeriesBase.PointOptions to the PiePointOptions type.

// Make the series points' values to be displayed as percents.
((PiePointOptions)series1.PointOptions).PercentOptions.ValueAsPercent = true;
((PiePointOptions)series1.PointOptions).ValueNumericOptions.Format = NumericFormat.Percent;
((PiePointOptions)series1.PointOptions).ValueNumericOptions.Precision = 0;
