Pie Graph
Introduction
The Pie Graph creates a visual representation of an entryset with two attributes. Each entry in the entryset corresponds to a single slice in the Pie Graph. The entry's first attribute determines the slice's name, the second determines its value. Pie Graph supports drill-down selection, enabling the creation of a new entryset that contains only the entries that correspond to the selected slices in the graph. The Pie Graph can also generate Donut and Pyramid Graphs.
Viewer Control:
Drill-down Selection
- Click on any slice in the graph to add the slice's corresponding entry to the "Selected Entryset" output connector.
- Hold "Ctrl" to select multiple slices in the graph.
- Click on the background to deselect all of the slices. This fills the "Selected Entryset" with all entries in the original entryset.
Property Panel:
Labeling
Allows you to define a title for the graph, show the legend, or display value labels next to each point.
- Title
- Text displayed above the graph in the Viewer control.
- Size
- The size of the title.
- Show Point Labels
- If checked, displays labels indicating the value of each slice of the graph.
- Show Legend
- If checked, displays a legend identifying each slice of the graph.
- Ignore Invalid Input Data
- If this is selected, slices corresponding to second-attribute values in the incoming entryset with empty or invalid data will not be displayed in the graph. If this is not selected, entrysets with missing or invalid data will not be displayed at all.
- Legend Position
- The position of the legend on the graph: Bottom, Left, Right, or Top.
Graphics
- Type
- Specifies whether the data is displayed in a Pie, Donut, or Pyramid chart.
- 3D
- Toggles the 3D view of the graph
- Colors
- Selects a color scheme for the graph
- Slice Separation
- Determines the distance between the slices of a Pie-type Graph
- Donut Thickness
- Determines the size of the hole in the center of a Donut-type Graph
