Class: pieChart

dc. pieChart

new pieChart(parent [, chartGroup])

The pie chart implementation is usually used to visualize a small categorical distribution. The pie chart uses keyAccessor to determine the slices, and valueAccessor to calculate the size of each slice relative to the sum of all values. Slices are ordered by ordering which defaults to sorting by key.

Examples:

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
parent String | node | d3.selection

Any valid d3 single selector specifying a dom block element such as a div; or a dom element or d3 selection.
chartGroup String <optional>

The name of the chart group this chart instance should be placed in. Interaction with a chart will only trigger events and redraws within the chart's group.

var chart1 = dc.pieChart('#chart-container1');
// create a pie chart under #chart-container2 element using chart group A
var chart2 = dc.pieChart('#chart-container2', 'chartGroupA');
