Creating a Pie Chart

This example illustrates how to create a pie chart. Follow the steps below to create a pie chart that displays Total Sales according to Year.

1. Create a new Viewsheet based on the 'Tutorial' > 'ProductSales' Worksheet.

2. Drag a Chart component from the Component Tree to the Viewsheet, and click the center of the Chart to open the Chart Editor.

3. In the Chart Editor, drag the 'Total' field from the Data Source panel to the 'Y' region of the Data panel.

4. In the Chart Editor, drag the 'Date' field from the Data Source panel to the 'Color' region of the Visual panel.

 

5. Click the 'Select Chart Type' button in the Data panel, and choose 'Pie'. This converts the chart into a pie-chart representation.

 

6. Add the respective year values to the pie slices: Drag the 'Date' field from the Data Source panel to the 'Text' region of the Visual panel.

 

7. Remove the legend (if desired). Right-click on the legend, and select 'Hide Legend' from the context menu.

 

The pie chart is now complete. To place a small gap between the slices, set the 'Explode Pie' plot property. See Editing Plot Properties for more information.
