    Flexible Layout
    In This Topic

    FlexPie supports multiple pie charts in one chart surface with the ability to control the layout of the charts. This option gives you much more control over how FlexPie fits into your application. FlexPie allows you to define how many charts you want to display in a line before wrapping to the next line using the ChartsPerLine property.

    Here is how the default rendering of FlexPie with four charts looks like:

    Multiple pie chart

    And if the ChartsPerLine is set to two, then we get the following result:

    Multiple pie chart with flexible layout

    The following code demonstrates how to set the chart layout using the ChartsPerLine property. This code uses data from the ProductSales class.

    ProductSales Data

    ProductSales.cs
    Copy Code 
    public class ProductSales
{
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public int Downloads { get; set; }
    public int Sales { get; set; }
    public int Refunds { get; set; }
    public int Damages { get; set; }
    public static List<ProductSales> GetData()
    {
        var countries = "US,Germany,UK,Japan,Italy,Greece".Split(new char[] { ',' });
        var data = new List<ProductSales>();
        for (var i = 0; i < countries.Length; i++)
        {
            data.Add(new ProductSales()
            {
                Country = countries[i],
                Downloads = ((i % 4) * 40) + 20,
                Sales = ((i % 7) * 25) + 20,
                Refunds = ((i % 3) * 45) + 20,
                Damages = ((i % 9) * 20) + 20
            });
        }
        return data;
    }
}

    Controller Code

    PieFlexibleLayout.cs
    Copy Code 
    public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View(ProductSales.GetData());
}

    View Code

    Index.cshtml
    Copy Code 
    @model IEnumerable<ProductSales>

@(Html.C1().FlexPie<ProductSales>()
        .Id("multipleChart")
        .Header("Product")
        .Height(500)
        .Binding("Downloads,Sales,Refunds,Damages")
        .Bind(Model)
        .BindingName("Country")
        .DataLabel(dl => dl.Content("{value}"))
        .ChartsPerLine(2))
