AmPieChart

Inheritance: AmPieChartAmChart

AmPieChart class creates pie/donut chart. In order to display pie chart you need to set at least three properties - dataProvider, titleField and valueField. For example:

var chartData = [{title:"Pie I have eaten",value:70},{title:"Pie I haven\'t eaten",value:30}];			
var chart = new AmCharts.AmPieChart();
chart.valueField = "value";
chart.titleField = "title";
chart.dataProvider = chartData;
chart.write("chartdiv");

Properties Hide inherited

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
alphaFieldStringName of the field in chart's dataProvider which holds slice's alpha.
angleNumber0Pie lean angle (for 3D effect). Valid range is 0 - 90.
backgroundColorString#FFFFFFBackground color. You should set backgroundAlpha to >0 value in order background to be visible. We recommend setting background color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property.
balloonAmBalloonAmBalloonThe chart creates AmBalloon class itself. If you want to customize balloon, get balloon instance using this property, and then change balloon's properties.
balloonTextString[[title]]: [[percents]]% ([[value]])\n[[description]]Balloon text. The following tags can be used: [[value]], [[title]], [[percents]], [[description]].
borderAlphaNumber0Opacity of chart's border. Value range is 0 - 1.
borderColorString#000000Color of chart's border. You should set borderAlpha >0 in order border to be visible. We recommend setting border color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property.
chartDataArray Read-only. Array of Slice objects.
colorString#000000Text color.
colorFieldStringName of the field in chart's dataProvider which holds slice's color.
colorsArray["#FF0F00", "#FF6600", "#FF9E01", "#FCD202", "#F8FF01", "#B0DE09", "#04D215", "#0D8ECF", "#0D52D1", "#2A0CD0", "#8A0CCF", "#CD0D74", "#754DEB", "#DDDDDD", "#999999", "#333333", "#000000", "#57032A", "#CA9726", "#990000", "#4B0C25"]Specifies the colors of the slices, if the slice color is not set. If there are more slices than colors in this array, the chart picks random color.
dataProviderArrayArray of data objects, for example: [{country:"US", value:524},{country:"UK", value:624},{country:"Lithuania", value:824}]. You can have any number of fields and use any field names. In case of AmMap, data provider should be MapData object.
depth3DNumber0Depth of the pie (for 3D effect).
descriptionFieldStringName of the field in chart's dataProvider which holds a string with description.
fontFamilyStringVerdanaFont family.
fontSizeNumber11Font size.
gradientRatioArray of numbers Example: [-0.2,0.2]. Will make slices to be filled with color gradients.
groupedAlphaNumber1Opacity of the group slice. Value range is 0 - 1.
groupedColorString Color of the group slice. The default value is not set - this means the next available color from "colors" array will be used.
groupedDescriptionString Description of the group slice.
groupedPulledBooleanfalseIf this is set to true, the group slice will be pulled out when the chart loads.
groupedTitleStringOtherTitle of the group slice.
groupPercentNumber0If there is more than one slice whose percentage of the pie is less than this number, those slices will be grouped together into one slice. This is the "other" slice. It will always be the last slice in a pie.
heightNumber/String100%Height of a chart. "100%" means the chart's height will be equal to it's container's (DIV) height and will resize if height of the container changes. Set a number instead of percents if your chart's size needs to be fixed.
hideLabelsPercentNumber0Slices with percent less then hideLabelsPercent won't display labels This is useful to avoid cluttering up the chart, if you have a lot of small slices. 0 means all labels will be shown.
hoverAlphaNumber1Opacity of a hovered slice. Value range is 0 - 1.
innerRadiusNumber/String0Inner radius of the pie, in pixels or percents.
labelRadiusNumber30The distance between the label and the slice, in pixels. You can use negative values to put the label on the slice.
labelRadiusFieldStringName of the field in dataProvider which specifies the length of a tick. Note, the chart will not try to arrange labels automatically if this property is set.
labelsEnabledBooleantrueSpecifies whether data labels are visible.
labelTextString[[title]]: [[percents]]%Label text. The following tags can be used: [[value]], [[title]], [[percents]], [[description]].

minRadiusNumber10Minimum radius of the pie, in pixels.
numberFormatterObject{precision:-1, decimalSeparator:'.', thousandsSeparator:','}Object with precision, decimalSeparator and thousandsSeparator set which will be used for number formatting. Precision set to -1 means that values won't be rounded.
outlineAlphaNumber0Pie outline opacity. Value range is 0 - 1.
outlineColorString#FFFFFFPie outline color.
outlineThicknessNumber1Pie outline thickness.
panEventsEnabledBooleanfalseThis setting affects touch-screen devices only. If a chart is on a page, and panEventsEnabled are set to true, the page won't move if the user touches the chart first. If a chart is big enough and occupies all the screen of your touch device, the user won’t be able to move the page at all. That's why the default value is "false". If you think that selecting/panning the chart or moving/pinching the map is a primary purpose of your users, you should set panEventsEnabled to true.
pathToImagesStringSpecifies path to the folder where images like resize grips, lens and similar are.
percentFormatterObject{precision:2, decimalSeparator:'.', thousandsSeparator:','}Object with precision, decimalSeparator and thousandsSeparator set which will be used for formatting percent values.
pieAlphaNumber1Opacity of the slices. You can set the opacity of individual slice too.
pieBaseColorString Color of the first slice. All the other will be colored with darker or brighter colors.
pieBrightnessStepNumber30Lightness increase of each subsequent slice. This is only useful if pieBaseColor is set. Use negative values for darker colors. Value range is from -255 to 255.
pieXNumber/String%You can set fixed position of a pie center, in pixels or in percents.
pieYNumber/String%You can set fixed position of a pie center, in pixels or in percents.

To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true.
prefixesOfSmallNumbersArray[{number:1e-24, prefix:"y"},{number:1e-21, prefix:"z"},{number:1e-18, prefix:"a"},{number:1e-15, prefix:"f"},{number:1e-12, prefix:"p"},{number:1e-9, prefix:"n"},{number:1e-6, prefix:"μ"},{number:1e-3, prefix:"m"}]Prefixes which are used to make small numbers shorter: 2μ instead of 0.000002, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true.
pulledFieldStringName of the field in chart's dataProvider which holds a boolean value telling the chart whether this slice must be pulled or not.

radiusNumber/String Radius of a pie, in pixels or percents. By default, radius is calculated automatically.
sequencedAnimationBooleanfalseSpecifies whether the animation should be sequenced or all slices should appear at once.
startAlphaNumber1Initial opacity of all slices. If you set startDuration higher than 0, slices will fade in from startAlpha.
startAngleNumber90Angle of the first slice, in degrees. This will work properly only if "depth3D" is set to 0. If "depth3D" is greater than 0, then there can be two angles only: 90 and 270. Value range is 0-360.
startDurationNumber1Duration of the animation, in seconds.
startEffectStringbounceAnimation effect. Possible values are ">", "<", "elastic" and "bounce".
startRadiusNumber/String500%Radius of the positions from which the slices will fly in.

NameParametersReturnsDescription
addLabel(x, y, text, align, size, color, rotation, alpha, bold, url)x - horizontal coordinate y - vertical coordinate text - label's text align - alignment (left/right/center) size - text size color - text color rotation - angle of rotation alpha - label alpha bold - specifies if text is bold (true/false), url - url of a Adds a label on a chart. You can use it for labeling axes, adding chart title, etc. x and y coordinates can be set in number, percent, or a number with ! in front of it - coordinate will be calculated from right or bottom instead of left or top.
addLegend(legend, legendDivID)legend - AmLegend, legendDivID - id or reference to legend div (optional)Adds a legend to the chart. By default, you don't need to create div for your legend, however if you want it to be positioned in some different way, you can create div anywhere you want and pass id or reference to your div as a second parameter. (NOTE: This method will not work on StockPanel.)
addListener(type, handler)type - string like 'dataUpdated' (should be listed in 'events' section of this class or classes which extend this class). handler - function which is called when event happensAdds event listener to the object.
addTitle(text, size, color, alpha, bold)text - text of a title size - font size color - title color alpha - title opacity bold - boolean value indicating if title should be bold.Adds title to the top of the chart. Pie, Radar positions are updated so that they won't overlap. Plot area of Serial/XY chart is also updated unless autoMargins property is set to false. You can add any number of titles - each of them will be placed in a new line. To remove titles, simply clear titles array: chart.titles = []; and call chart.validateNow() method.
animateAgain() You can trigger the animation of the pie chart.
clear()Clears the chart area, intervals, etc.
clearLabels()Removes all labels added to the chart.
clickSlice(index)index - the number of a slice or Slice object.You can trigger the click on a slice from outside.
