Converting a pie chart to an object that is merged?

I have created a simple pie chart as shown below (a) and in the end want it to look like a pie chart with a hollow hole in it (b).
However, the pathfinder's minus front tool only works with 2 objects.
The pie chart data consists of two pieces (dark teal and green). How do I merge /unite these two objects? I get an error mainly because they are not overlapping.
(a)(b)

Rather than physically bashing a hole through your pie chart, do it with a clipping mask like Mylenium suggests.
The mask should be a compound path; a large circle or rectangle that completely covers the pie and a second smaller circle for the ‘hole’.
Make a compound path of these two and apply it as a clipping mask to the pie.
This way the pie chart remains editable.

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

Pie Chart Color Scheme

Post Author: Janice
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have a report written in Crystal Reports XI that has a pie chart in the Report Header displaying counts of activity by "reason code" for a selected time period. The users have noticed that, when they run the report for different time periods, the same "reason" has a different color on each report. It seems that the default is to sequence colors based on volume (size of 'pie wedge').
They would like to have the colors appear linked to Reason Code rather than to volume. Is there a way to change the pie chart color scheme so that it is coded by "description" not by "count"?

hi,
As you are selecting 'Color Highlight' for different Pie Slices, "For all records" option shouldn't be selected.
It should be "On Change of".
Then obviously you will see the colors specified in 'Color Hghlight' tab.

Automatic Fill colors for Report Builder pie charts and graphs are too repetitive and hard to differentiate

I have pie charts or other graphs that show multiple results (7-20). I set the "fill" colors to Automatic so that the results are dynamic (I don't want to specify a color for each result because I will then be limited that those results--I
prefer it to be dynamic).
I noticed that once you get above 4 or 5 results, no matter which palette is used, the "automatic" colors are so closely similar that it is hard to differentiate which color pertains to which result (group). For example, you could have a
reports that breaks the results into age groups like 1-18, 19-21, 22-25, 26-30, 31-41, 41-50, 51-65, 66-80, and 81+. By the time you review the results, there's likely to be 3 pairs of colors (or more) that are so closely similar that you can't
tell them apart (2 shades of yellow, 3 shades of blue, 2 shades of orange, or green, or teal, or purple or whatever).
Is there a way to use Automatic for the color scheme (I don't care which color pertains to which category) but also specify to not use colors that seem to bleed together (so that someone viewing the report can actually tell the difference)? Using SSRS
2008 Report Builder, if it makes a difference.

Hi JNehman,
Reporting Services provides a list of predefined, built-in palettes that you can use to define a color set for series on your chart. All built-in palettes contain between 10 and 16 color values. You cannot extend the built-in palette to include more colors,
so if you need more than 16 colors, you must define a custom palette.
A custom palette let you add your own colors in the order you want them to appear on the chart. A custom palette is especially helpful if the number of series in your chart is unknown at design time. For more information, see
Define Colors on a Chart Using a Palette (Report Builder and SSRS).

How to enable the shadow option in my 3D pie chart?

I am using Numbers 09 and have created a pie chart. I see that the 3D pie chart has a dark black shadow on it and I want to be able to change that color of the shadow. When I click on the both the full chart or just a slice of the pie chart the "Shadow" bar is greyed out on both the Graphic inspector AND the Chart inspector window. Can I do this? If so, how?
Thank you for you help in advance..
News guy..

I do not believe this is possible in Numbers 2.x (the previous version of Numbers)
One work around is to place a circle with a shadow behind the pie chart:

Issues converting Pie Chart to 3D

Hello all,
I am having issues within Illustrator CC. I created a Pie Chart and found a tutorial on how to convert it to 3D. Unfortunately whenever I Extrude and Bevel it, nothing happens. I turn preview on...no change. Nothing I am doing will convert it to 3D. This works just fine on a copy of CS6 I have on a different computer. Is there a setting that is off or something?
Thanks

That's odd. I was able to see the 3D effect applied to the graph fine on my end. Did you forget to select the pie chart before applying the effect?
If that's not the case, can you try resetting preferences (Adobe Illustrator * Setting preferences) or perhaps launch Illustrator in a new user account and see if that helps?
Let us know!

Is there any way to link the individual rows of data to the corresponding bars in a bar chart so that each legend title appears simultaneously with its corresponding bar when creating a build? I can do it in a pie chart but can't in a bar chart.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Creating pie chart diagram in java and converting into BMP file

hi all ,
my req. is to create draw a pie chart diagram and store
the picture in BMP. it is Possible. if so how ?
cheers
senthil

Hi Senthil,
This response is a bit late but I hope it can help in some way. Your requirement (to create draw a pie chart diagram and store the picture in BMP) is possible and actually quite easy if you don't mind using two open source libraries. In his previous response to this thread, Detlev mentioned JFreeChart for as a solution for charting however he also mentioned that it lacks support for BMP. Although this is true, you can use the JFreeChart library (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/index.html) in conjunction with an imaging library to meet your requirement. I have used JFreeChart on multiple projects and I highly recommend it. For the imaging library you have many options, however the only one I have used is The Java Imaging Utilities (JIU - http://jiu.sourceforge.net/). Using these two class libraries, you can generate your pie chart and save it to a BMP file with the following block of code:
     try
         JFreeChart chart = this.createChart();
         FileOutputStream streamOut = new FileOutputStream("your/files/path/BMPfile.bmp");
         BufferedImage image = chart.createBufferedImage(600, 300);
         if(image == null)
              reportError("Chart Image is NULL!!!!!!!!");
              return(false);
         RGB24Image rgbImage = ImageCreator.convertImageToRGB24Image(image);
         Codec codec = new BMPCodec();
         codec.setImage(rgbImage);
         codec.setOutputStream(streamOut);
         codec.process();
         codec.close();
         streamOut.flush();
         streamOut.close();
    }catch(IOException ioExcept)
         // throw or handle IOException...
         return(false);
    }catch(OperationFailedException opFailedExcept)
         // throw or handle OperationFailedException...
         return(false);
The first line inside the catch block calls a helper method that should create the actual chart using the JFreeChart library. Once you have your chart instance (all chart types are represented using the JFreeChart class), you can then retrieve a BufferedImage of the chart (JFreeChart.createBufferedImage(int width, int height);). In our situation, the BufferedImage class will act as an "intermediate" class, for both libraries (the charting and imaging) can make sense of BufferedImages. The rest of the code deals with storing the generated chart (the BufferedImage) as a BMP file to disk. The RGB24Image, Codec, BMPCodec, CodecMode, and OperationFailedException classes are all part of the JIU library. Also, note that the storage source is not solely limited to a File on disk; the Codec.setOutputStream(OutputStream os) method will accept any subclass of OutputStream. This implies that not only can you store to the actual App Server disk (where your app is running) but also to sources such as Knowledge Management (KM) resources or even directly to the clients browser (in the case of an iView).
Once again, sorry for the late response and let me know if you have any questions regarding the code above.
Regards,
Michael Portner

What IS that little clock/pie chart icon?

i have searched and found two responses to this question. in the first, the response had nothing to do with the question and the second i didn't understand. so i am still prickly with curiousity...what IS the icon that appears when checking mail that appears for a fleeting moment to the right of the various mailbox icons? it is not the "offline" (~) icon, it is more a pie chart showing the progress of something or other. but what?
help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope.

It's pretty much a progress icon, something like the "spinning beach ball" of OS X, showing that mail is busy, and how close to being done it is.
If it sits there a while, you either have a slow connection, a bunch of emails, or your email system is being slow - like my school account @_@.

Pie chart wedge itemRollOver

I need help with creating a custom pie chart class that will allow a function call on pie wedge rollOver.
Right now I can get a function call on rollover using itemRollOver using;
import mx.charts.events.ChartItemEvent;
-in the <mx:PieChart>;
itemRollOver="pieChart_itemRoll(event);"
-which calls this function
private function pieChart_itemRoll(evt:ChartItemEvent):void {
var psi:PieSeriesItem = evt.hitData.chartItem as PieSeriesItem;
trace(psi.item.target);
Please advise on how can I put this into a custom PieChart .as that extends PieChart?
Currently itemRollOver in my custom class throws an undefined property error.
Thanks.

OK, now I get it. So you would need to place your two PieCharts in a s:Group or mx:Canvas. On top of the pie charts, lay another s:Group on which you will do some drawing on its graphics:Graphics object.
In your case, you need to use dataToLocal() (will give you pixel coordinates in your chart) then localToGlobal() (convert to Application coordinates) then globalToLocal() (convert to the Top Group or Canvas coordinates you want to draw in) :
Using the dataToLocal() method
The dataToLocal() method converts a set of values to x and y coordinates on the screen. The values you give the method are in the "data space" of the chart; this method converts these values to coordinates. The data space is the collection of all possible combinations of data values that a chart can represent.
The number and meaning of arguments passed to the dataToLocal() method depend on the chart type. For CartesianChart controls, such as the BarChart and ColumnChart controls, the first value is used to map along the x axis, and the second value is used to map along the y axis.
For PolarChart controls, such as the PieChart control, the first value maps to the angle around the center of the chart, and the second value maps to the distance from the center of the chart along the radius.
The coordinates returned are based on 0,0 being the upper-left corner of the chart. For a ColumnChart control, for example, the height of the column is inversely related to the x coordinate that is returned.

Pie chart highlight selected wedge.
