JFreeChart Pie graph labels squishing

Question

As you can see from the picture, the labels for the arrows pointing to the sections of the pie graph are overlapping on the left side. Is there a way to shrink the font of the labels so more can fit? Or make them go out so they dont overlap? strong text

Answer 1

you can rotate chart by some angle by using following code

 JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart3D("World Polulation by Countries ", dataset, true, true, true);
            PiePlot plot = (PiePlot) chart.getPlot();

            plot.setPieIndex(0);

//          plot.setLabelFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.NORMAL, 12));
            plot.setNoDataMessage("No data available");
            plot.setCircular(false);
            plot.setLabelLinksVisible(true);
//          plot.zoom(200);
//          plot.setStartAngle(180);
//          plot.setLabelBackgroundPaint(paint);
            plot.setLabelLinkMargin(0.01);
            return chart;
