I can't figure out how to get flot.pie to change the data shown in the labels from a percentage of the "raw data" to the actual data. In my example i've created a pie chart with the numbers of read/unread messages.
Number of read messages: 50. Number of unread messages: 150.
The created pie shows the percentage of read messages as 25%. On this spot i want to show the actual 50 messages. See image below:
The code i used to create the pie:
var data = [
{ label: "Read", data: 50, color: '#614E43' },
{ label: "Unread", data: 150, color: '#F5912D' }
];
And:
$(function () {
$.plot($("#placeholder"), data,
{
series: {
pie: {
show: true,
radius: 1,
label: {
show: true,
radius: 2 / 3,
formatter: function (label, series) {
return '<div style="font-size:8pt;text-align:center;padding:2px;color:white;">' + label + '<br/>' + Math.round(series.percent) + '%</div>';
},
threshold: 0.1
}
}
},
legend: {
show: false
}
});
});
Is this possible?
With the answer of @Ryley I came to a dirty solution. When I output the series.data the values "1,150" and "1,50" were returned. I came up with the idea to substract the first 2 characters of the returned value and display the substracted value.
String(str).substring(2, str.lenght)
This is the pie chart I created with this solution:
This is not the best solution, but it works for me. if someone knows a better solution....
