# Labels

Having the right label is important in the visual. It helps you understand information easily. Best practices suggest that labels should be clear, easy to read, and short.

Enable Best Fit: Enable the option to display labels both inside and Outside the arc, depending on the available space.

Powerviz Activity Gauge offers two types of labels to make sure you have the best option.

* [Data Label](#data-labels)
* [Leaf Label ](#leaf-labels)           \

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.powerviz.ai/powerviz/activity-gauge/advance-settings-introduction/labels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
