I am using Highcharts and it is working just amazing, i am stuck at a place where i want to plot a pie chart in which every pie slice (in a single pie chart) has a different radius.
Below is the image attached of the expexted pie chart.
You can skip making it a donout or designing it this specific. I just want to know how each pie slice can have different radius.
The variablepie
series type, introduced in Highcharts 6.0.0, handles this with less code. In this series type you can specify a z
-parameter for each data point to alter its z
-size.
For example (JSFiddle, documentation):
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'variablepie'
},
title: {
text: 'Variable pie'
},
series: [{
minPointSize: 10,
innerSize: '20%',
zMin: 0,
name: 'countries',
data: [{
name: 'Pune',
y: 35,
z: 25
}, {
name: 'Mumbai',
y: 30,
z: 20
}, {
name: 'Nagpur',
y: 15,
z: 15
} , {
name: 'Thane',
y: 25,
z: 10
}]
}]
});
This requires including:
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/variable-pie.js"></script>
Each series in a pie chart can have their own size. So, I stacked a bunch of pie series calculating their begin and end angles. You'll have to do a little clean up to get the tooltips displaying the value instead of 100, but I think it's a workable solution.
Note: The following code makes a bad assumption that the data points add to 100. void fixes that assumption in his fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/58zfb8gy/1.

$(function() {
var data = [{
name: 'Thane',
y: 25,
color: 'red'
}, {
name: 'Nagpur',
y: 15,
color: 'blue'
}, {
name: 'Pune',
y: 30,
color: 'purple'
}, {
name: 'Mumbai',
y: 30,
color: 'green'
}];
var start = -90;
var series = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var end = start + 360 * data[i].y / 100;
data[i].y = 100;
series.push({
type: 'pie',
size: 100 + 50 * i,
innerSize: 50,
startAngle: start,
endAngle: end,
data: [data[i]]
});
start = end;
};
$('#container').highcharts({
series: series
});
});
Another way I toyed with, that I didn't like as much, was having each series have invisible points:
series = [{
type: 'pie',
size: 100,
innerSize: 50,
data: [{y:25, color: 'red'}, {y:75, color:'rgba(0,0,0,0)'}]
},{
type: 'pie',
size: 150,
innerSize: 50,
data: [{y:25, color: 'rgba(0,0,0,0)'},{y:15, color: 'blue'}, {y:60, color:'rgba(0,0,0,0)'}]
}, ... ];
