 Positioning datalabel on a line chart |

I have a line chart showing 4 datasets and I want to show just the datalabel for the last
datapoint for each line.
I have managed to do this using:
layer.addCustomDataLabel(0,13,"{value}%","arialbd.ttf",9,&h3a9966)
layer.addCustomDataLabel(1,13,"{value}%","arialbd.ttf",9,&hfbff2a)
However I would like to position the labels more the right of the last datapoint and I think
I need to use the SetPos function but I cannot find out how to use it in combination with
addCustomDataLabel.
Is there another way to do this?
Cheers

Hi Paul,
The addCustomDataLabel function returns a TextBox object, which you may use to further configure the text. For example:
Dim t As ChartDirector.TextBox = layer.addCustomDataLabel(0,13,"{value}%","arialbd.ttf",9,&h3a9966)
'shift 10 pixels to the right
t.setPos(10, 0)
or
'left-align the text to the data point (which means the left edge of the text is aligned
'with the data point, and therefore the text is to the right of the data point)
t.setAlignment(Chart.Left)
You may also combine the above into 1 line as per VB syntax:
layer.addCustomDataLabel(0,13,"{value}%","arialbd.ttf",9,&h3a9966).setPos(10, 0)
Hope this can help.
