How to force report items to overlap?

Question

I'm trying to create doughnut chart and insert label inside the chart's hole. When I render report, label is being moved outside the chart.

Is it possible to force report items to overlap instead of position it automaticaly?

Answer 1

I was looking for an answer to this earlier! I was trying to overlay a rectangle shape on to an image of a site-map.

Unfortunately the answer is no, due to the way that HTML renders objects: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255248.aspx

Very old question, but page overlapping is supported in hard page break formats, such as PDF, or physical print of a report. Essentially, any other format (such as HTML or the Report Builder tool) will move your items around the page, but if you export that same (non-overlapped) report to PDF, your items will be displayed as you intended, with overlapping items.
