delphi

property Position: TdxChartStackedBarValueLabelPosition read; write; default TdxChartStackedBarValueLabelPosition.Center;

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
TdxChartStackedBarValueLabelPosition	Center

The position of value labels in stacked bars.

Remarks

Use the Position property to move value labels within corresponding stacked bars along the axis of values.

Property Values

You can assign the following values to the Position property:

TdxChartStackedBarValueLabelPosition.BottomInsidePositions a value label inside its stacked bar, at the bottom border.TdxChartStackedBarValueLabelPosition.Center Default. Centers a value label within its stacked bar.TdxChartStackedBarValueLabelPosition.TopInsidePositions a value label inside its stacked bar, at the top border.

Refer to the TdxChartBarValueLabelPosition type description for additional information on available options.

Code Example: Create Stacked Bar Series with Custom Value Labels

The code example in this section displays and configures value labels for 2018 , 2019 , and 2020 Stacked Bar series.

How to Test this Code Example
