Formatting Pie chart data labels

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi Aspose Support,

We’re in the progress of adding some Pie charts to our reports.
I’ve managed to get all the data in and even change the colors (which apparently is done by changing the colors in the document theme).

The last part that I still need to figure out (and am having quite some trouble with) is how to change the positioning of the ChartDataLabels.

This is how it should end up looking:
design.PNG (6.2 KB)

And this is how far I’ve come:
current.PNG (15.7 KB)

Is there any way to set the label position to “OutsideEnd” as is possible in Aspose.Cells?
Is it also possible to add the “speech bubbles” to the labels?

If these are not possible, is there a way to generate these in Aspose.Cells and then import those into Aspose.Words or any other workaround?

As an extra, is it possible to determine more than 6 colors? It seems the original 6 colors now get rotated and made slightly darker.

We are using Aspose.Words 19.5.0.

Sincerely,
Vincent

Hi @tahir.manzoor

I’ve attached all the required documents in a zipfile with the only exception being we don’t have an “input word document”.
We generate all our documents from scratch.
