The pie chart can be used, for example, to represent something that is akin to percentages. ie A set of data that should be taken as part of a whole.
The example file is here.
<script> window.onload = function () { var data = [564,155,499,611,322]; var pie = new RGraph.Pie('myPie', data); pie.Set('chart.labels', ['Abc', 'Def', 'Ghi', 'Jkl', 'Mno']); pie.Set('chart.linewidth', 5); pie.Set('chart.stroke', '#fff'); pie.Draw(); } </script>
You can use these properties to control how the pie chart looks. You can set them by using the Set() method. Eg:
myPie.Set('name', 'value');
chart.gutter | The gutter of the graph (for text labels). Default: 25 |
chart.align | Whether to left, center or right align the pie chart. Default: center |
---|---|---|---|
chart.colors | Colors to be used for the pie segments. Default: ['rgb(255,0,0)', '#ddd', 'rgb(0,255,0)', 'rgb(0,0,255)', 'rgb(255,255,0)', 'rgb(0,255,255)', 'red', 'pink', 'black', 'white'] |
chart.strokestyle | The color of the seperating lines. By setting this to your background color, and setting the linewidth to approx. 5, it will make the pie chart look "exploded". Default: #999 |
chart.text.size | The size of the text (in points). Default: 10 |
chart.text.font | The font used to render the text. Default: Verdana |
chart.text.color | The color of the labels. Default: black |
chart.labels | An array of labels to be used for the chart. Default: [] (an empty array) |
chart.labels.sticks | Stipulates that small sticks for the labels are shown. The example page has an example of this. Default: false |
chart.title | The title of the pie chart. Default: none |
chart.title.color | The color of the title. Default: black |
chart.title.vpos | This allows you to completely override the vertical positioning of the title. It should be a number between 0 and 1, and is multiplied with the gutter and then used as the vertical position. It can be useful if you need to have a large gutter. Default: null |
chart.shadow | Whether a simple shadow effect is applied. Default: false |
chart.shadow.color | The color of the shadow. Default: rgba(0,0,0,0.5) |
chart.shadow.blur | The severity of the shadow blurring effect. Default: 3 |
chart.shadow.offsetx | The X offset of the shadow. Default: 3 |
chart.shadow.offsety | The Y offset of the shadow. Default: 3 |
chart.linewidth | By setting this to roughly 5, and setting the strokestyle to the same colour as your background colour,you will get a segment separation effect. Default: 1 |
chart.tooltips | An array of tooltips, starting from the middle right (ie east) axis, and going clockwise sequentially. Default: [] (An empty array) |
chart.tooltip.effect | The animated effect used for showing tooltips. Can be either fade or expand. Default: fade |
chart.highlight.style | Can be either 2d or 3d and determines which style of segment highlighting is used in conjunction with tooltips. Default: 2d |
chart.key | An array of strings used as the key for the chart. This can be used in place of labels if you prefer. Default: null (ie no key is drawn) |
chart.key.background | The background color of the key. Default: white |
chart.key.shadow | Whether the key casts a drop shadow. Default: false |
chart.contextmenu | An array of context menu items. More information on context menus is here. Default: [] (An empty array) |
chart.annotatable | Whether annotations are enabled for the chart (ie you can draw on the chart interactively. Default: false |
chart.annotate.color | If you do not allow the use of the palette, then this will be the only colour allowed for annotations. Default: black |
chart.zoom.mode | Can be used to control whether the zoom is in thumbnail or canvas mode. Possible values are: thumbnail and canvas. Default: canvas |
chart.zoom.factor | This is the factor that the graph will be zoomed by (bigger values means more zoom) Default: 1.5 |
chart.zoom.fade.in | Whether the zoomed canvas fades in or not. This also can be used to control the fade in for the zoom in thumbnail mode. Default: true |
chart.zoom.fade.out | Whether the zoomed canvas fades out or not. This also can be used to control the fade in for the zoom in thumbnail mode. Default: true |
chart.zoom.hdir | The horizontal direction of the zoom. Possible values are: left, center, right Default: right |
chart.zoom.vdir | The vertical direction of the zoom. Possible values are: up, center, down Default: down |
chart.zoom.delay | The delay (in milliseconds) between frames. Default: 50 |
chart.zoom.frames | The number of frames in the zoom animation. Default: 10 |
chart.zoom.shadow | Whether or not the zoomed canvas has a shadow or not. Default: true |
chart.zoom.thumbnail.width | When the zoom is in thumbnail mode, this is the width (in pixels) of the thumbnail. Default: 75 |
chart.zoom.thumbnail.height | When the zoom is in thumbnail mode, this is the height (in pixels) of the thumbnail. Default: 75 |
