2-line Labels on a Pie Chart

BIRT 2.6.2

I would like to format the label in my pie chart such that the label is displayed as

Category Data
Percentile Value Data

I tried adding a <br/> and \n to the Separator field in the Series Labels dialog but they do not render as newline.

How can I do this?

Try this instead. Put a colon( : ) as the separator field, then put this script in your onRender script of your chart:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
function beforeDrawDataPointLabel( dph, label, icsc )
{
var tst=label.getCaption().getValue();
tst = tst.split(":");
label.getCaption().setValue(tst[0]+"\n"+ tst[1]);
}
</pre>
<br />
That should do it. Hope this helps.
