    }
}

This is an example from: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/examples/LineChart.java

And I use poi version is 4.1.1.

when I use series1.setShowLeaderLines(true) or series2.setShowLeaderLines(false) it will show label as picture 1, and contains Series Name, Category Name, Value and Legend Key, also label position is Right.

Is it possible to change it picture 2 which just contain Value and label position is Center? Thanks!!!

The problem is that XDDF is not complete yet. The XDDFLineChartData.Series.setShowLeaderLines sets default data lables if not present.

As of current Excel versions default data lables means including value, legend key, category name and series name. So all this is shown.

XDDFLineChartData.Series lacks methods for customizing the data labels except of the leader lines. So this needs to be done using the low level ooxml-schemas classes and methods.

In your case:

...
            series1.setShowLeaderLines(true); // this sets default data lables
            // customizing data labels
            int seriesNr = 0;
            //chart.getCTChart().getPlotArea().getLineChartArray(0).getSerArray(seriesNr).getDLbls()
            // .addNewSpPr().addNewSolidFill().addNewSrgbClr().setVal(new byte[]{(byte)255,(byte)255,0});
            chart.getCTChart().getPlotArea().getLineChartArray(0).getSerArray(seriesNr).getDLbls()
             .addNewDLblPos().setVal(org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.chart.STDLblPos.CTR);
            chart.getCTChart().getPlotArea().getLineChartArray(0).getSerArray(seriesNr).getDLbls().addNewShowVal().setVal(true);
            chart.getCTChart().getPlotArea().getLineChartArray(0).getSerArray(seriesNr).getDLbls().addNewShowLegendKey().setVal(false);
            chart.getCTChart().getPlotArea().getLineChartArray(0).getSerArray(seriesNr).getDLbls().addNewShowCatName().setVal(false);
            chart.getCTChart().getPlotArea().getLineChartArray(0).getSerArray(seriesNr).getDLbls().addNewShowSerName().setVal(false);
