Namespace: DevExpress.Maui.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Maui.Charts.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Maui.Charts

Declaration

public ISeriesLabelTextProvider TextProvider { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ISeriesLabelTextProvider	An instance of a class that implements the ISeriesLabelTextProvider interface.

Example

This example shows how to configure the pie series so that its labels display point values as thousands, millions or billions of dollars in the following way:

• 1234 -> $1.234K
• 123456789 -> $123.457M
• 12345678901 -> $12.346B

1. Create a class (LabelTextProvider) that implements the ISeriesLabelTextProvider interface.
2. Implement the GetText method that returns a string for each label instance. A PieSeriesLabelValues object is an argument of this method when it is called for a pie series. Use the PieSeriesLabelValues.Value property to access series point values.
3. Assign a LabelTextProvider object to the PieSeriesLabel.TextProvider property.
