Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

When creating a Pie to have the dataLabelPosition option available like Powerpoint has, so we can position the labels for example outside the pie with outEnd.

The Chart API docs show this as an option for bar charts, but it should work with pie charts according to what i see in the source code.

PptxGenJS/src/gen-charts.ts

Line 1457 in 506af72

if (chartType === CHART_TYPE.PIE) `<c:dLblPos val="${opts.dataLabelPosition || 'inEnd'}"/>`

The 'outEnd' option is not working for pie chart.

@gitbrent The line you mentioned has no effect. To work properly it should be replaced with:
strXml += "<c:dLblPos val="" + (opts.dataLabelPosition || 'inEnd') + ""/>";
