Functional Attributes

These attributes let you control a variety of functional elements on the chart.

paletteColors : String [+]

For example, "paletteColors": "#FF0000, #0372AB, #FF5904...". The chart will cycle through the list of specified colors and then render the data plot accordingly. To use the same set of colors throughout all your charts in a web application, you can store the list of palette colors in your application globally and then provide the same in each chart JSON.

The category Object

For a multi-level pie chart, the category object is used to define product categories that will be shown on the chart. For defining sub-categories, the category object for the sub-category is nested within the category object of the main category.

category : {

Alpha for the pie.

Range: 0 - 100

color : Color [+]

Color for the pie

Range: Hex Color Code

label : String [+]

link : String [+]

Link for the pie.

toolText : String [+]

The tooltip defined in the category object appears only when the mouse cursor is hovered over the individual slices. However, this will not appear when the cursor is moved over the data labels (except for a situation when long labels are automatically truncated with ellipses. In this situation, if the mouse cursor is hovered over a truncated label, the tooltip will appear with the full label). In case you want to set a short label and show the full label in tooltip, define the full label using this attribute within the category object. The tooltip with the full label will appear only when the mouse is hovered on the particular slice.

value : Number [+]

If you do not want a symmetrical distribution for all the pies, you can allot numeric values to individual pies. This can be done using the value attribute of each category. You will need to define the value for all the categories (pies) then. The sweep angle of the pie would depend on its value. If you just want a symmetrical multi-level pie chart, you can ignore the value.

Range: Numeric Value

showLabel : Boolean [+] 3.13.5

Range: 0/1
