Flash Pie Chart

Pie Chart

The pie chart plots a single value per series in a pie shape.

Dataset Guidelines

The pie chart dataset typically contains two columns. The first column's values are the series names, and the second column contains the data values. If the dataset has multiple rows for each series, the row values will be aggregated, so that each series appears only once in the pie.

The pie chart also supports the by-row property, meaning that the dataset can be row based. In this case, you may have multiple numeric columns in your dataset, whose headers will become the series names, and the data values would aggregate across the rows to formulate the series value.

here is a sample pie dataset:

DEPARTMENT	ACTUALS
Sales	11,168,773
Executive Management	6,299,022
Finance	12,224,220
Human Resource	13,075,463
Marketing & Communication	13,910,753
Product Development	10,644,102
Professional Services	76,317,649

Required Properties

The only property a pie chart requires is the appropriate chart-type.

<chart-type>PieChart</chart-type>

The example below contains the full set of additional supported properties with comments on its purpose and valid values. It is recommended that new users start with this example as a starting place for building your first flash chart.

Example

The following chart definition will produce the chart you see below:
