Hi,

I am using a stacked bar chart in Ignition Perspective and need to display values on the bars. I have managed to show the values, but they are overlapping. I can adjust the `dx` and `dy` properties to move them up and down, but I need the values to be centered within each stacked bar.

Does anyone know how to achieve this? Please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance 🙂!

I think it's going to look a mess no matter where you position the labels because they're going to overlap. If you must use them then just inside the top of the bar would make it very clear which bar was being labelled.

Consider providing the numeric values as tooltips.
