# Key Features

## Content



The Sunburst control includes a number of features that make it efficient and useful for creating professional-looking applications.

*   **Doughnut Sunburst chart**: Create a doughnut Sunburst chart by setting the **InnerRadius** property that has a default value of zero. Setting this property to a value greater than zero creates a hole in the middle, thereby creating the doughnut Sunburst chart.
*   **Exploded Sunburst chart**: Create an exploded Sunburst chart by setting the **Offset** property that has a default value of zero. Setting the property pushes the slices away from the center of Sunburst chart, thereby producing the exploded Sunburst chart.
*   **Reversed Sunburst chart**: Create a reversed Sunburst chart by setting the **Reversed** property that has False as the default value. Setting the property to True creates the reversed Sunburst chart that contains angles drawn in the counter-clockwise direction.
*   **Start angle**: Set the start angle by setting the **StartAngle** property that accepts values of the double type. A start angle is the angle that is set in degrees to start drawing Sunburst slices in the clockwise direction. The default value is the 9 o'clock position.
*   **Palette**: Use different color palettes to make Sunburst chart more appealing and presentable. To specify the chart palette, set the <span data-popup-content="This property is available in \u003ca href=\u0022/componentone/api/wpf/online-flexchart/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.Chart/C1.WPF.Chart.FlexChartBase.Palette.html\u0022\u003e.NET\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\u0022/componentone/api/wpf/online-flexchart/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.Chart/C1.WPF.Chart.FlexChartBase.Palette.html\u0022\u003e.NET Framework\u003c/a\u003e." data-popup-title="Palette" data-popup-theme="ui-tooltip-green qtip-green">Palette</span> property that lets you specify an array of default colors to be used when rendering slices. The property accepts values from the Palette enumeration.
