jQuery PieChart Options

An object that defines configuration properties for the PieChart UI component.

See Also

adaptiveLayout

Specifies adaptive layout properties.

Type:

Object

The adaptive layout enables the UI component to hide optional elements if they do not fit in the container. Elements are hidden in the following sequence:

  1. Title
  2. Export menu icon
  3. Legend
  4. Point labels (can be saved by setting the adaptiveLayout.keepLabels property to true)

Use the height and width properties in the adaptiveLayout object to specify the minimum container size at which the layout begins to adapt.

annotations[]

Specifies the annotation collection.

Annotations are containers for images, text blocks, and custom content that display additional information about the visualized data.

DevExtreme PieChart: Annotations

To create annotations, assign an array of objects to the annotations[] property. Each object configures an individual annotation. You can set each annotation's type property to "text", "image", or "custom". Depending on the type, specify the annotation's text, image, or template property:

jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
    $("#pieChart").dxPieChart({
        annotations: [{
            type: "text",
            text: "Annotation text"
        }, {
            type: "image",
            image: "http://image/url/myimage.png"
        }, {
            type: "custom",
            template: function(annotation) {
                const data = annotation.data;
                const $svg = $("<svg>");
                // ...
                // Customize the annotation's markup here
                // ...
                return $svg;

                render={CustomAnnotation}
            />
        </PieChart>
    );
}

Annotations can be unattached or anchored to a chart element. The following list shows how to position them. Chart coordinates (argument and series) specify the element that the annotation's arrow points to; pixel coordinates (x and y) specify the position of the annotation's center.

  • Unanchored annotation

    annotations: [{
        x: 100,
        y: 200
    }]
  • Annotation anchored to a series point

    annotations: [{
        argument: "California",
        series: "States" // required if the PieChart contains more than one series
    }]
  • Annotation positioned at an argument's edge

    annotations: [{
        argument: "Alaska",
        series: "States",
        location: "edge"
    }]

The PieChart displays a tooltip when a user long-presses an annotation or hovers the mouse pointer over it.

Objects in the annotations[] array configure individual annotations. To specify properties that apply to all annotations, use the commonAnnotationSettings object. Individual settings take precedence over common settings.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the PieChart always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

After providing data, bind series to it.

NOTE

Review the following notes about data binding:

  • If you wrap the store into the DataSource object explicitly, set the paginate property to false to prevent data from partitioning.

  • Data field names cannot be equal to this and should not contain the following characters: ., :, [, and ].

  • The stores and DataSource have methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the articles about changing properties in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

diameter

Specifies the diameter of the pie.

Type:

Number

Default Value: undefined

This property accepts a number that identifies the ratio between the pie's diameter and the UI component's width or height (depending on which of them is less). For example, assume that the UI component's size is 300x500 pixels and the diameter property is set to 0.5. Then, the resulting diameter of the pie will be:

0.5 * min(300,500) = 0.5 * 300 = 150 pixels

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

Use this property to change the amount of space occupied by the inner area of the doughnut-type pie chart.

legend

Specifies PieChart legend properties.

Type:

Object

The PieChart UI component can include a legend. It helps you distinguish and identify the points of the displayed series. Each point is presented by an item on the legend. An item marker identifies the point's (slice's) color. An item label displays a value corresponding to the point. Use the legend property to set up PieChart legend properties to the required values. To learn more about the legend and its properties, refer to the Legend topic.

loadingIndicator

minDiameter

Specifies the minimum diameter of the pie.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0.5

This property specifies the minimum ratio between the pie's diameter and the UI component's width or height (depending on which of them is less). For example, assume that the UI component's size is 300x500 pixels and the minDiameter property is 0.7. Then, the diameter of the pie will never be less than:

0.7 * min(300,500) = 0.7 * 300 = 210 pixels

NOTE
This property is ignored if the diameter property is set.

pathModified

Notifies the UI component that it is embedded into an HTML page that uses a tag modifying the path.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

If you place the UI component on a page that uses a tag modifying the path (<base>, <iframe>, etc.), some of the UI component elements may get mixed up or disappear. To solve this problem, set the pathModified property to true.

See Also

pointSelectionMode

Specifies whether a single point or multiple points can be selected in the chart.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'single'
Accepted Values: 'multiple' | 'single'

To set the points to highlight along with the selected point, set the series.selectionMode property.

redrawOnResize

Specifies whether to redraw the UI component when the size of the parent browser window changes or a mobile device rotates.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true
Cannot be used in themes.

When this property is set to true, the UI component will be redrawn automatically in case the size of its parent window changes.

NOTE
To redraw the UI component after the size of its container has changed, call the render() method of the UI component's instance.

resolveLabelOverlapping

Specifies how a chart must behave when point labels overlap.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'none'
Accepted Values: 'hide' | 'none' | 'shift'

Series point labels display series point values. If the series in your pie chart contains a large number of points, point labels may overlap. In this case, specify how the chart must resolve overlapping using the resolveLabelOverlapping property. To hide certain labels, set this property to 'hide'. Labels to be hidden will be determined automatically. To resolve overlapping by shifting labels from their positions, set the resolveLabelOverlapping property to 'shift'. In this case, it is recommended that you display label connectors so that pie segments are connected with their labels. If there is not enough space for all labels after they are shifted, labels with the smallest values will be hidden.

NOTE
If the position property is set to "inside", the "shift" mode in label overlapping is not available.

View Demo

rtlEnabled

Switches the UI component to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

JavaScript
DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});
NOTE
In a right-to-left representation, SVG elements have the direction attribute with the rtl value. This might cause problems when rendering left-to-right texts. Use this property if you have only right-to-left texts.

segmentsDirection

Specifies the direction that the pie chart segments will occupy.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'clockwise'
Accepted Values: 'anticlockwise' | 'clockwise'

series

Specifies properties for the series of the PieChart UI component.

Default Value: undefined
Cannot be used in themes.

A series represents a group of related data points. To configure a series, assign an object to the series property. If PieChart must contain several series, assign an array of such objects to the same property. Refer to the Series Overview topic to learn the basics of what a series is, what it does, and how it helps.

The definitive characteristic of a series is its type. The PieChart UI component provides two series types - Pie and Doughnut.

When you have a multi-series pie, settings that are common for all series can be specified all together. Use the commonSeriesSettings object to do this.

seriesTemplate

Defines properties for the series template.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined
Cannot be used in themes.

In most cases, you can organize the array that is assigned to the chart's dataSource property in the following way.

[
    {arg: arg1Value, series1Value: val11, series2Value: val12, ...}
    {arg: arg2Value, series1Value: val21, series2Value: val22, ...}
    ...
    {arg: argNValue, series1Value: valN1, series2Value: valN2, ...}
]

Each object that is included in the array represents an argument value and the values of all series for this argument.

However, there are some scenarios in which you do not know exactly how many series will be added. In these cases, you will not be able to define the data source in the manner detailed above. Instead, define it in the following way.

[
    {seriesName: series1, arg: arg11Value, val: value11 }
    {seriesName: series1, arg: arg12Value, val: value12 }
    ...
    {seriesName: seriesM, arg: argM1Value, val: valueM1 }
    {seriesName: seriesM, arg: argM2Value, val: valueM2 }
    ...
]

If you define a data source in this manner, set the argument and value fields using the argumentField and valueField properties of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object (for all series at once). Then, define a template for the series using the seriesTemplate configuration object. Within this object, set the data source field that specifies the series name to the nameField property.

If you need to specify individual values for properties of a particular series, assign a callback function to the customizeSeries property of the seriesTemplate object.

size

Specifies the UI component's size in pixels.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined

The UI component occupies its container's entire area by default. Use the size object to specify the UI component's size if it should be different from that of its container. Assign 0 to size object's height and width properties to hide the UI component.

jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
    $("#pieChartContainer").dxPieChart({
        // ...
        size: {
            height: 300,
            width: 600
        }
    });

Alternatively, you can style the UI component's container using CSS:

jQuery
index.js
styles.css
$(function() {
    $("#pieChart").dxPieChart({
        // ...
    });
});
#pieChart {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}
Angular
app.component.html
app.styles.css
<dx-pie-chart ...
    id="pieChart">
</dx-pie-chart>
#pieChart {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}
Vue
App.vue
<template>
    <DxPieChart ...
        id="pieChart">
    </DxPieChart>
</template>

<script>
import DxPieChart from 'devextreme-vue/pie-chart';

export default {
    components: {
        DxPieChart
    },
    // ...
}
</script>

<style>
#pieChart {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}
</style>
React
App.js
styles.css
import React from 'react';

import PieChart from 'devextreme-react/pie-chart';

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <PieChart ...
                id="pieChart">
            </PieChart>
        );
    }
}
export default App;
#pieChart {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}

sizeGroup

Allows you to display several adjoining pies in the same size.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

Besides the pie itself, the PieChart UI component comprises other diverse elements that affect the size of the pie. Therefore, when you display several PieChart UI components side by side, their pies may differ in size. To eliminate these differences, collect all the PieChart UI components in a single size group by setting their sizeGroup property to identical values. The UI components should have identical layouts, that is, the same container's size, position of the title and legend, etc. Note also that a single page can contain many size groups, but a UI component can be a member of only one of them.

A theme is a UI component configuration that gives the UI component a distinctive appearance. You can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the property values in the UI component's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

title

Configures the UI component's title.

Type:

Object

|

String

The UI component's title is a short text that usually indicates what is visualized. If you need to specify the title's text only, assign it directly to the title property. Otherwise, set this property to an object with the text and other fields specified.

The title can be accompanied by a subtitle elaborating on the visualized subject using the title.subtitle object.
