You can create a pie plot chart using code or the designer. The following image shows a Pie Plot type chart.
For details on the API, see the PiePlotArea class.
The following class is also available:
Using Code
- Use the PieSeries class to add data to a Chart control.
- Use the PiePlotArea class to create the plot area.
- Set the location and size of the plot area.
- Add the series to the plot area.
- Create a label and legend for the chart.
- Create a chart model and add the plot area, label, and legend to the model.
- Create a chart and add the chart model to it.
- Add the chart to the Spread control.
Example
The following example demonstrates using unbound data to create a Pie chart.
| C# |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
PieSeries series = new PieSeries(); series.SeriesName = "Series 0"; series.Values.Add(1.0); series.Values.Add(2.0); series.Values.Add(4.0); series.Values.Add(8.0); PiePlotArea plotArea = new PiePlotArea(); plotArea.Location = new PointF(0.2f, 0.2f); plotArea.Size = new SizeF(0.6f, 0.6f); plotArea.Series.Add(series); LabelArea label = new LabelArea(); label.Text = "Pie Chart"; label.Location = new PointF(0.5f, 0.02f); label.AlignmentX = 0.5f; label.AlignmentY = 0.0f; LegendArea legend = new LegendArea(); legend.Location = new PointF(0.98f, 0.5f); legend.AlignmentX = 1.0f; legend.AlignmentY = 0.5f; ChartModel model = new ChartModel(); model.LabelAreas.Add(label); model.LegendAreas.Add(legend); model.PlotAreas.Add(plotArea); FarPoint.Web.Spread.Chart.SpreadChart chart = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.Chart.SpreadChart(); chart.Model = model; FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Charts.Add(chart); |
