There is an error in the text orientation in some of the cells in a sunburst plot whenever I specify insidetextorientation=‘radial’. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you.

Hi @Vincisteel, and thanks for using the community forum!

Can you be more specific about the behavior you are seeing and what you expect?

Is it possible to post a screenshot of your figure along with a description of what you want?

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have attached a screenshot to this message. If you take a look at the texts highlighted with a red circle. It is not positioned in the center of the sector and this only happens whenever I specify insidetextorientation=‘radial’. In the other mode, it works fine.

Hey,  
I am facing the same problem with the ‘radial’ mode. Did you ever find a solution to this?
