RE: [flexcoders] drop shadow on pie chart label text

[Ely Greenfield]

Typically, when you place labels on a chart, you want them to go on top, so they don't get clipped by other data or series.  To accomplish this, when you place an element in a chart, the element can provide the chart with a 'label container': a UIComponent that contains all of its labels. The chart will make sure this UIComponent goes above all data.     So one way to get drop shadows on the labels would be to subclass PieSeries, override the get labelContainer function, and make sure that the label container returned by the base implementation has a nice dropshadow filter applied to it.   A more general way would be to replace the class  the PieSeries uses to render its labels, but that's not supported by this release.   Ely.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 9:51 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] drop shadow on pie chart label text Is there some way to add a drop shadow to the label text (set using labelFunction) of a pie chart? I've tried poking around with styles and renderers but I can't figure it out. __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
