Do Kendo UI Charts support Smart Labels like Teler

Question

"Smart Labels" are labels that do not overlap each other.

They are mentioned in the docs: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radchartview/features/labels/smart-labels

My question is about "Smart Labels", which is a Telerik UI feature we decided to use. I need to mirror Telerik UI Charts functionality using Kendo UI Charts and thus "Smart Labels" is a requirement.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no such feature in Kendo UI Charts. You can find a thread relating to this in the Telerik forums.

Basically what the Telerik representative says is that the feature isn't available and suggests several other solutions:

• Use categoryAxis.labels.step / categoryAxis.labels.skip options and display only some of the labels
• Use a categoryAxis.labels.template and trim the labels to a specific length

Another user preferred making the labels invisible altogether.
