    TextOverlapsImage Property
    In This Topic
    Controls whether or not the text should use the Z position of the base point.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
<CategoryAttribute("General")>
<DescriptionAttribute("Controls whether or not the text should use the Z position of the base point.")>
<DefaultValueAttribute(True)>
Public Property TextOverlapsImage As Boolean
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As ChartText
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.TextOverlapsImage = value
 
value = instance.TextOverlapsImage
    [Category("General")]
[Description("Controls whether or not the text should use the Z position of the base point.")]
[DefaultValue(true)]
public bool TextOverlapsImage {get; set;}
    Remarks
    When Xceed Chart for WinForms renders objects with associated texts like bars, axes etc. it generates a base point with a Z value equal to the object. You can instruct the ChartText object whether to render or not at the same Z value as the base point. When set to true the text will always overlap the chart.
    Example
    The following example instructs the bar labels to use the Z value of the bar they are attached to. This is why these objects will disappear when overlapped by a chart element closer to the viewer. 
    Dim chart As Chart =  ChartControl.Charts.GetAt(0) 
Dim bar As BarSeries = CType(chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Bar), BarSeries)

bar.Add(10, "Apples")
bar.Add(20, "Oranges")

bar.Appearance.LineMode = AppearanceLineMode.Series
bar.DataLabels.Text.TextOverlapsImage = False
    Chart chart = ChartControl.Charts.GetAt(0);
BarSeries bar = (BarSeries)chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Bar);
      
bar.Add(10, "Apples");
bar.Add(20, "Oranges");

bar.Appearance.LineMode = AppearanceLineMode.Series;
bar.DataLabels.Text.TextOverlapsImage = false;
