Creating a pie chart or doughnut chart with this WordPress plugin is pretty straightforward, just use the “Add chart” button in the post/page editor and choose “Pie chart/Doughnut” in the chart type selector. Here are 2 examples of what you can do with the plugin: one pie chart and one doughnut chart.
The configuration options for the pie/doughnut chart are grouped into 3 groups
General settings
– Size – width and height of the chart in pixels;
– Padding – padding around the chart in pixels
– Type – either pie or doughnut
– Doughnut inner size – only applicable to doughnut charts is a number between 0
(no hole at all) and 1 determining the size of the hole in the doughnut
– Start angle – the angle in degrees starting from where the first pie slice is placed
– Highlight mode – the effect applied on mouse over a pie slice; the slice will either
“pop” or a “border” will be drawn beside it; the default highlight mode slightly lightens the slice;
– Highlight size – in the case of “pop” or “border” highlight mode determines the size of the highlight in pixels+
Text settings
Font – font family, size and color; the font family can be set to a web font that is available in the theme, but the preview might not reflect it, it will, however, show in the resulting page/post
– Decimals – a number of decimal places for the amounts displayed
– Label type – “percent” displays percentages, “value” displays actual numbers with the units selected, “none” does not display any numbers
Data
– Unit Name – a name of the units that the values are representing (displayed on the chart if the “Label type” is set to “value”)
– Slice Data – you can set the name of the slice, value and color; you can also rearrange the slices using the up/down buttons, delete a slice or add a new slice;
