Pie and Doughnut charts

Pie Chart

Now, let's learn how to create a Pie chart. We will use the same data of "Most Popular Programming Language". The data will look as shown below:

Programming Language Number of Users
Java 62000
Python 46000
Javascript 38000
C++ 31000
C# 27000
PHP 14000
Perl 14000

The chart will look as shown below:

Render the Chart

Create the PieChart.aspx.cs file and do the following:

  • Include the FusionCharts.DataEngine and FusionCharts.Visualization .dll files.
  • Create DataTable.
  • Add two columns and multiple rows to the DataTable.
  • Create a StaticSource using the DataTable.
  • Create an instance of DataModel class.
  • Add StaticSource as data source to the DataModel.
  • Instantiate Pie chart.
  • Set chart width and height.
  • Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart.
  • Optionally, set chart title, subtitle, X-axis text, and Y-axis text.
  • Optionally, set the chart theme as fusion.
  • Return the chart rendering configuration into the server side literal, or set the chart configuration as Literal.text.

The code is shown below:

        {
DataTable ChartData = new DataTable(); ChartData.Columns.Add("Programming Language", typeof(System.String)); ChartData.Columns.Add("Users", typeof(System.Double)); ChartData.Rows.Add("Java",62000); ChartData.Rows.Add("Python",46000); ChartData.Rows.Add("Javascript",38000); ChartData.Rows.Add("C++",31000); ChartData.Rows.Add("C#",27000); ChartData.Rows.Add("PHP",14000); ChartData.Rows.Add("Perl",14000); // Create static source with this data table StaticSource source = new StaticSource(ChartData); // Create instance of DataModel class DataModel model = new DataModel(); // Add DataSource to the DataModel model.DataSources.Add(source); // Instantiate Pie Chart Charts.PieChart pie = new Charts.PieChart("pie_chart"); // Set Chart's width and height pie.Width.Pixel(500); pie.Height.Pixel(400); // Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart pie.Data.Source = model; // Set Chart Title pie.Caption.Text = "Most popular programming language"; //set chart sub title pie.SubCaption.Text = "2017-2018"; pie.ThemeName = FusionChartsTheme.ThemeName.FUSION; // Render the chart to 'Literal1' literal control Literal1.Text = column.Render(); }
} }

Doughnut Chart

Now, let's learn how to create a doughnut chart with the same data. The code remains the same as that of the Pie chart. The only difference is instead of instantiating a pie chart you have to instantiate a doughnut chart.

Render the Chart

Create a doughnutChart.aspx.cs and do the following:

  • Include the FusionCharts.DataEngine and FusionCharts.Visualization .dll files.
  • Create DataTable.
  • Add two columns and multiple rows to the DataTable.
  • Create a StaticSource using the DataTable.
  • Create an instance of DataModel class.
  • Add StaticSource as data source to the DataModel.
  • Instantiate Doughnut chart.
  • Set chart width and height.
  • Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart.
  • Optionally, set chart title, subtitle, X-axis text, and Y-axis text.
  • Optionally, set the chart theme as fusion.
  • Return the chart rendering configuration into the server side literal, or set the chart configuration as Literal.text.

            ChartData.Columns.Add("Programming Language", typeof(System.String));
            ChartData.Columns.Add("Users", typeof(System.Double));
            ChartData.Rows.Add("Java", 62000);

            ChartData.Rows.Add("Perl", 14000);
            // Create static source with this data table
            StaticSource source = new StaticSource(ChartData);
            // Create instance of DataModel class
            DataModel model = new DataModel();
            // Add DataSource to the DataModel
            model.DataSources.Add(source);
            // Instantiate Pie Chart
            Charts.DoughnutChart donut = new Charts.DoughnutChart("doughnut_chart");
            // Set Chart's width and height
            donut.Width.Pixel(500);
            donut.Height.Pixel(400);
            // Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart
            donut.Data.Source = model;
            // Set Chart Title
            donut.Caption.Text = "Most popular programming language";
            //set chart sub title
            donut.SubCaption.Text = "2017-2018";
            donut.ThemeName = FusionChartsTheme.ThemeName.FUSION;
            // Render the chart to 'Literal1' literal control
            Literal1.Text = column.Render();
