How to display Trackbar label at the top of the chart instead of top of each bar?

[idispose]

The trackball feature offers excellent functionality when there are numerous bars in the chart. However, since each bar might be of different heights, the current functionality of displaying the label at the top of each bar is not idea. On a device these bars are hidden by finger that's sliding across the chart. 

Is there a way to show ALL labels, regardless of the bar height, at the top?

Hi idispose,

We have prepared a sample based on your requirement by setting trackball label display mode to GroupAllPoints using platform specific code in MainActivity.cs(Android) and AppDelegate.cs(iOS). Please download the sample from the following location.

Hi Divya,Thank you for taking time to respond and prepare a sample. Why does this have to be done this way? Is this a limitation of the Xamarin.Forms implementation of the chart?And while this works, the template I set for each label is completely ignored. Do I have to set the template again in the Native code?Thanks

Hi Idispose,

Thanks for the patience.

We have customized the ChartTrackballBehavior to achieve your requirement.

Android:

We have added the OnLabelsGenerated() and DrawLabel() override methods in ChartTrackballBehavior (CustomTrackballBehavior.cs) and added this customized trackball behavior in chart (MainActivity.cs) to achieve your requirement

iOS:

we have overridden the DidTrackballLabelsGenerate() override method in SFChartDelegate using platform specifc code(AppDelegate.cs) to achieve your requirement
