Actually, I find I can make your stoplight example have the same problem. Just change the PieSeries to this:
<PieSeries field="@costs" labelPosition="insideWithCallout"> It seems the addition of the insideWithCallout (and no other value) will cause the bug. This doesn't normally happen in a pie, only with your custom renderer. Could it be a bug in that code not compensating for the labelPosition? Since I don't have the source for the charting components (bleh), I can't check into it more. --- In [email protected], "Ely Greenfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hey, very cool Jason. > > One question -- your app seems to have a drop shadow per wedge...which > makes wedges drop shadows onto other wedges.
