Customizing Pie and Doughnut Plots

The following properties allow you to fine-tune the appearance of Pie and Doughnut Plots, enabling greater control over their layout and presentation. You can explore these settings by adjusting the configuration in any Pie, Doughnut, or Circular Bar Plot demos to see their effects in action.

• Inner Radius – Specifies the size of the central hole as a percentage of the outer radius. In Doughnut Plots, increasing this value creates a larger hollow center. For example, in the Doughnut Plot Demo, this property is set to 20%.

• Offset – Defines the gap between circular sectors as a percentage of their arc length. This property can be adjusted to visually separate slices or segments. In the Pie Plot Demo, setting this to 10% creates spacing between slices.

• Start Angle – Determines the rotation of the plot in degrees, measured clockwise. A full rotation is 360 degrees, allowing precise control over the initial position of slices.

• Sweep – Controls the total arc length occupied by the plot, ranging from 0 to 360 degrees. This property is useful for creating semi-circular or partial Pie/Doughnut plots. For instance, in the Circular Bar Plot Demo, it is set to 270 degrees, forming a three-quarter circle.
