Pie Chart Properties

These properties affect pie charts. For pie charts, you can customize properties for the chart, series, wedge fills, and labels.

For a guide to using pie charts, see Pie Chart.

Pie charts are also affected by Common Properties and Datatips Properties.


General Pie Chart Properties

These properties affect the entire pie chart.

Inner Radius

Inner Radius

Inner Radius
Defines the radius for the blank area in the center of the pie chart. This blank area is useful for creating multilevel pie charts and doughnut charts.

The Inner Radius property
The Inner Radius property

Outer Radius

Outer Radius

Outer Radius
Defines the radius of this pie chart, as a percentage of the radius of the largest pie chart that would fit. This depends on container size.

If the Reduce Outer Radius property is TRUE, then the radius size might be automatically reduced in order to fit labels or other elements.

The Outer Radius property
The Outer Radius property

Reduce Outer Radius

Reduce Outer Radius

Reduce Outer Radius
Defines whether the pie chart radius shrinks automatically in order to fit labels or other elements.

TRUE
The pie chart radius might be smaller than that determined by the Outer Radius property, in order to fit labels or other elements.

FALSE
The pie chart size is determined by the Outer Radius property only.

The Reduce Outer Radius property
The Reduce Outer Radius property


Pie Chart Series Properties

These properties affect a pie chart series.

Visible

Visible

Visible
Defines whether this series is visible. Regardless of value, the series affects layout and is stored in the user's browser memory. Because the series is stored in memory, performance might be affected.

TRUE
The series is visible.

FALSE
The series is not visible, but still affects layout and is stored in browser memory.

The Visible property

Display Name

Display Name

Display Name
Defines the display name of this series. You can choose to have this name appear in your interface, for example in datatips.

Show Datatips

Show Datatips

Show Datatips
Specifies whether datatips are displayed when the user mouses over data points.

Wedge Label

Wedge Label

Wedge Label
Configures the text displayed in wedge labels for this series. Use the same tags you would use for a datatip.

The Wedge Label property
The Wedge Label property

Explode Radius

Explode Radius

Explode Radius
Defines the distance that the series is exploded, as a percentage of the outer radius of the chart. Wedges move away from the center by this distance without changing their shape.

The Explode Radius property
The Explode Radius property

Radial Stroke Color

Radial Stroke Color

Radial Stroke Color
Defines the stroke color for the edges between wedges. To edit the inner and outer circles of the pie chart, use the Fill and Stroke properties for the series.

Radial Stroke Style

Radial Stroke Style

Radial Stroke Style
Defines the stroke style for the edges between wedges. To edit the inner and outer circles of the pie chart, use the Fill and Stroke properties for the series.

Radial Stroke Weight

Radial Stroke Weight

Radial Stroke Weight
Defines the stroke weight for the edges between wedges. To edit the inner and outer circles of the pie chart, use the Fill and Stroke properties for the series.

Pie Chart Wedge Fill Properties

These properties affect the pie chart colors.

Color Field

Color Field

Color Field
Specifies the table column that contains data from which to determine wedge colors. The following formats are supported:

  • #EEE: Any shortened, three-digit hexadecimal color string, including the # symbol.
  • #FF00FF: Any hexadecimal color string, including the # symbol.
  • rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5): Any RGBA color string, including "rgba" and the parentheses.

You can also specify colors in the Property Inspector by expanding Wedge Fills.

Data Source

Data Source

Data Source
Specifies the table that this series uses as the data source.

Label Position

Label Position

Label Position
Defines the position of the labels.

None
There are no labels.

Outside
Labels are positioned for each pie wedge, near the outer edge of the pie series. Labels might be inside or outside the wedges, depending on the outer radius of the series.

Callout
Labels are positioned outside of the chart, with callout lines.

Inside
Labels are positioned inside each pie wedge.

The Label Position property
The Label Position property

Callout Gap

Callout Gap

Callout Gap
Defines the amount of empty space, in pixels, that is added to the gap between the edge of the pie and the edge of the labels. Does not define the entire gap, but rather the amount that is added to the default gap. A negative value makes the gap smaller than the default.
