SmartLabelsStyle class is used to enable and configure the SmartLabels algorithm for data point labels and annotations. In most of the cases it is enough just to enable the algorithm, but this class also contains properties which allow controlling how the labels are moved around to avoid collisions. Visual appearance of callouts can also be set through this class.

- defines the rules with respect to distance of label repositioning.
