Numbers on piechart
I have a widget piechart where I would like to easily see how many artifacts a given 'slice' consists of.
I cannot add a picture, but I would like for a single 'slice' of the pie to have a color and then for example the number "15" written on top - without having to hover over the piece.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
yes, this is possible by modifying the underlying BIRT report design (.rpt design file) with BIRT designer (Eclipse extension, need version 2.6.2 to work with RTC).
It is not too hard to do following examples in https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/create-custom-reports-birt-rtc/
That said, I found for a very similar use case that with growing numbers of slices, esp. small slices it was much much better to display the graph as bar chart with numbers. Have you also looked into using Jazz Reporting Service? The reports can be displayed graphically and used as widgets in dashboards. I do not remember if they display numbers directly though.

Thank you Arne
I've found that your point regarding small slices to be quite true and have therefore opted for the bar chart solution - The Jazz Reporting Service is also an option I considered, but I find the widget display of these lacking in comparison. Here the question of small slices also presents itself
