i have big trouble trying to get the value of the selected slice of a PieChart when its clicked.
The documentation says:
selection_array: An array of selected objects, each one describing a data element in the underlying table used to create the visualization (a DataView or a DataTable). Each object has properties row and/or column, with the index of the row and/or column of the selected item in the underlying DataTable. If the row property is null, then the selection is a column; if the column property is null, then the selection is a row; if both are non-null, then it is a specific data *item. You can call the DataTable.getValue()* method to get the value of the selected item. The retrieved array can be passed into setSelection()
in my case i get null from getSelection(), then i couldnt figure out what to do to get the value i want (the label of the column corresponding to that slice).
Any answer will be very apreciated :)
the example code of what im doing:
google.load('visualization', '1', {packages: ['controls']});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);
var data;
var pie_area;
function drawVisualization() {
// Prepare the data
data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
