Asked On October 7, 2019 07:19 AM UTC

Hi,

I've been playing with GroupMode in the Sf Chart in Xamarin Forms, great library thanks! I was wondering if it's possible to put a label on the actual chart for "Others" when using the GroupMode?

I'd like to achieve having an "Others" which, like my main data labels, shows a label on the actual chart with "Others" and the sum of the amounts that have been grouped. I'm not using the legend, so it looks a bit strange seeing a slice of the chart without a label.

Hope it's possible, thanks in advance!
Mark

Hi Mark, 
 
Greetings from Syncfusion. 
 
We would like to let you know that your requirement has been achieved by using the LabelTemplate property of DataMarker and modified the label value using Converter.  
 
Please refer the below code.

Code snippet [XAML]:
 
 
<chart:PieSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" XBindingPath="XValue" YBindingPath="YValue" GroupMode="Value" GroupTo="60"> 
    <chart:PieSeries.DataMarker> 
        <chart:ChartDataMarker> 
            <chart:ChartDataMarker.LabelTemplate> 
                <DataTemplate> 
                    <StackLayout Orientation="Vertical"> 
                        <Label FontSize="12" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource converter}, ConverterParameter='Label'}"/> 
                        <Label FontSize="12" TextColor="White" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource converter}}"/> 
                    </StackLayout> 
                </DataTemplate> 
            </chart:ChartDataMarker.LabelTemplate> 
        </chart:ChartDataMarker> 
    </chart:PieSeries.DataMarker> 
</chart:PieSeries> 
  
Code snippet [C#]:
 
 
public class DataMarkerConverter : IValueConverter 
{ 
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) 
    { 
        if (parameter != null && parameter.ToString() == "Label") 
        { 
            if (value is List<object>) 
            { 
                return "Others"; 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                if (value != null) 
                { 
                    return (value as Model).XValue; 
                } 
            } 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            if (value is List<object>) 
            { 
                return (value as List<object>).Sum(item => (item as Model).YValue).ToString(); 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                if (value != null) 
                { 
                    return (value as Model).YValue; 
                } 
            } 
        } 
        return null; 
    } 
}

Seems to have done the trick, thanks very much!

Sorry forgot to ask my other question, how do i track that it's the group that is selected? I've wired up OnSelectionChanged (with an event to command behaviour) but can't find anything in the ChartSelectionEventArgs that is passed which indicates that it's the group that is selected.

Hi Mark Tilley, 
 
Thanks for the update.

We have validated your query and currently we don’t have a direct support to indicate ChartSelectionEventArgs when the grouping segment is selected. However, you can achieve this requirement by getting the corresponding DataPoint using DependencyService in each platform. 
 
Please refer below code snippet. 
  
Code snippet [MainPage]: 
 
  
private void SfChart_SelectionChanged(object sender, ChartSelectionEventArgs e) 
{  
            if (e.SelectedDataPointIndex >= 0) 
            { 
               object data = DependencyService.Get<IChartDependencyService>().GetDataPoint(e.SelectedSeries as PieSeries, e.SelectedDataPointIndex); 
  
                if (data is List<object>) 
                { 
                    //Grouped segment is selected. 
                    this.DisplayAlert("Selected Grouped Data", "Yes", "Ok"); 
                } 
            } 
} 
  
  
public interface IChartDependencyService 
{ 
        object GetDataPoint(PieSeries series,int selectedIndex); 
} 
  
  
  
Code snippet [Android]:   
 
  
public class AndroidDependencyService : IChartDependencyService 
{ 
        public object GetDataPoint(PieSeries series, int selectedIndex) 
        { 
            var nativeSeries = (Native.PieSeries)SfChartRenderer.GetNativeObject(typeof(PieSeries), series); 
            PropertyInfo datapoint = typeof(Native.PieSegment).GetProperty("DataPoint", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); 
            return datapoint.GetValue(nativeSeries.Segments[selectedIndex], null); 
        } 
} 
  
  
Code snippet [iOS]:  
 
  
public class iOSDependencyService : IChartDependencyService 
{ 
        public object GetDataPoint(PieSeries series, int selectedIndex) 
        { 
            var nativeSeries = (Native.SFPieSeries)SfChartRenderer.GetNativeObject(typeof(PieSeries), series); 
            PropertyInfo datapoint = typeof(Native.SFPieSegment).GetProperty("DataPoint", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); 
            return datapoint.GetValue(nativeSeries.Segments[selectedIndex], null); 
        } 
} 
  
  
Code snippet [UWP]:  
 
public class UWPDependencyService : IChartDependencyService 
{ 
        public object GetDataPoint(PieSeries series, int selectedIndex) 
        { 
            var nativeSeries = (Native.ChartSeriesBase)SfChartRenderer.GetNativeObject(typeof(ChartSeries), series as ChartSeries); 
            var segments = typeof(Native.ChartSeriesBase).GetField("Segments", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(nativeSeries) as ObservableCollection<Native.ChartSegment>; 
            return segments[selectedIndex].Item;  
        } 
} 
  
And we have prepared a sample based on your requirement and you can download the sample from the below link.
