Labels overlapping in jasper report pie chart

Question

I am using iReport 1.3.2 The labels in the pie charts are overlapping. Is there any setting in iReport by which I can prevent this? I cannot do any code changes at the moment, therefore, I can only use iReport settings/tweaks to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try setting the Position Type of the pie charts to Float in the properties windows. This normal stops overlap.

No, it doesn't. Any ORDER BY must be removed.

Amazingly this problem is still present in iReport/JasperReport/JFreeChart 4.5

Answer 2

Try setting the Position Type of the pie charts to Float in the properties windows. This normal stops overlap.

Answer 3

I could solve this by not sorting the query output. After I removed the order by clause from my query, the labels in the pie-chart didn't overlap.
