Description T. Fischer CLA 2011-11-10 14:56:43 EST 
Several series labels can be added from the "Category Data" list, but are displayes as comma seperated list next to the value in the chart (according to the format: above/below/left/right).

The series label values can be selected independently, but the format is only defined once for all label values together.

It would be better if each label value could have its own format, e.g. the percentil value below and the data value above and also in different text sizes.


The position list (above/below/left/right or inside/outside) is fine in some cases, but e.g. the stock chart (boxplot) could use additional positions like above/below/left/right to the box open and close line and also inside the box.

Best would be a free positioning for each series label, e.g. relative to the marker center point and other distinctive points (box corners), depending on the marker.
