Masking a pie chart

this is what i am trying to accomplish:
http://www.livestrongportfolios.com/
Click on one of the year boxes at the bottom, such as 2015.
See how the pie chart starts as a a single color then "unmasks" in
a circle to other colors.
How is that done? I have used masks but i can't get my mind
around this. thank you.

How do you ungroup or expand a pie chart in Adobe Illustrator CS6?

How do you ungroup or expand a pie chart in Adobe Illustrator CS6? This functionality seems to have been removed. Say I'd like to remove the legend: before, I could ungroup the chart, release its link to the data, and then delete the legend with my white mouse. Object > Expand no longer works either. This is supremely frustrating.

In the end, I closed the dialogue box that shows the data, and was able to choose Object > Ungroup. Then it prompted me saying: "The selection contains a graph. After a graph is ungrouped you will no longer be able to access its graph style, its data or change its graph designs." - Which is what I was looking for. So in short, when the data is open, everything under Object will be greyed out. Additionally, Object > Expand no longer works in CS6.
As a note, before I figured all this out, I resorted to a quick clipping mask to get rid of the legend, since selecting with the direct selection tool (A) and deleting was met with a 'you can't do that' prompt. That worked nicely, and kept the data.

Is it possible to a make a semi-pie chart in Keynote???

I'm working on a documentary film about Germany in the early thirties. And to show the NSDAP share of parliamentary seats in the last election (March 1933), I was hoping to use a semi-pie rather than a full circle or full pie. Since the semi-pie is shaped more like a parliamentary seating arena.
Please see these illustrations at:
http://gallery.me.com/nicholasnatteau#100241
Picture 5 is what I am trying to achieve: parliament illustrated as a semi-circle.
Is this at all possible in Keynote'09????
Thanks very much in advance,
- Nicholas

Unfortunately, Keynote can't produce a semi-pie chart.
I think you have the right idea to try to fake it out by the clever use of masking. It might work just well enough for what you're trying to do. Download and take a look at this presentation.

On the first slide is the chart I began with, on the second slide is the half pie version.

Anybody successfully created a Pie-chart?

I have tried with all the default options and keep getting
an "x"( the one that's shown by browser when it can't find an image file).
I understand the fact that Pie-Charts are still in Beta.
But at least they should work to have a successful look at them.
Or am I missing some important settings in Apache/Portal/Admin
that are masking this output?
These charts are one of the important criteria for us to continue using Portal.
Thank you verymuch.
Madhav

Hi Madhav ,
I agree with you
Pie charts is a beta version even in 3.0.9 .It is not possible to create the pie chart(you can create other charts) .If some body has any version more than 3.0.9 ,i don't know .the only way to show up pie charts may be to use seperate table and up load the pie charts and view them ,but not through the regular create components way.
Thanks

How did Steve group exploded wedges in pie chart

In his MacWorld keynote today, Steve showed a pie chart with 3 wedges exploded together (9:36 in, the US SmartPhone Marketshare slide). The Apple wedge is exploded, but so are the Palm, Motorola and Nokia wedges, yet they are exploded together, with no space between them. Is this possible in Keynote '08 or is Steve using unreleased features? I've tried selected all three and changing the explode value, but they separate.

I'll post the .key file used to create that image.
http://idisk.mac.com/makentosh-Public/multixplode.zip
The main things to consider is:
a) Don't move the wedges you want "connected"
b) You'll need one "Preview Passthru" for each separately exploded bit
So, you begin by setting up your chart with all the appropriate elements. Then, pull away the ones you DON'T want stuck together. Preview Passthru them (Copy, Open Preview, Command-N, Copy, Paste back into Keynote OR Preview Passthru for short), then use the "Draw a Shape" to click out a shape that surrounds the ones that are stuck together. Select the shape and the image and "Mask with Selected Shape". If you've only got two separated groups, move all the others back to the center, move the "attached" ones away and Preview Passthru that group, then mask it.
You'll see how I masked all three parts in the linked Keynote file.

How to create a tomato shape pie chart?

Hi,
I google around to find a way to create a custom-shape pei chart (a tomato with 3 percentage numbers in it, say 25% 25% and 50%). But I always got stuck when trying to creat the mask, which i have no clue....
Could some computer expert here help me to understand it?
thanks

Hi sz,
Although the Numbers User Guide (which you should find in the iWork 08 folder in your Applications folder) does say, "You can also drag an image to mask a shape with an image," I didn't have any success when trying to do so.
The best I was able to do was to place the pie chart in front of or behind a tomato image, then set the transparency of whichever was in front to allow the other to show through. Although I'm not really happy with the result, here's a sample, with the chart in front. The chart's Fill has been set to None, and the opacity of the 'slice' colours has been set to 30%. The colours used for the slices are shown in the chart's legend.
You might achieve an improved result by experimenting with the colours and opacity settings.

Barry

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.

Creating a donught shaped pie chart with javascript elements

Good morning chaps,
We recently built our new company website which we're happy enough with. However one element we tried to capture was an interactive donught shaped pie chart, using javascript to click on each seperate section.
The end result can be viewed at;
http://insight247.co.uk/index.php?page=aboutus
You'll notice imemdiately that the part that's a little off is the text which sits in each section. IS there an easier way to combine the graphic, text and javascript to achieve the effect we're looking for?
Many thanks to all responses.

Stephen,
There are a few strange parts: the irregular text, the irregular shapes of the underlying ring parts (which do not have consistent widths at the gaps), and the outer glow (or whatever) which correponds to a full ring on the inside but partially to separate objects on the outside.
IS there an easier way
Maybe not easier, but more accurate; the specific appearance is somewhat demanding.
To get the right shape of both ring parts and letters and different choices concerning the outer glow, you may (Smart Guides are your friends):
1) Create a fill/nostroke rectangle with the same height as the ring parts and an arbitrary length, then Object>Transform>Move a copy by the length, then Ctrl/Cmd+D to repeat 4 times;
2) Select all six rectangles and in the Brushes palette flyout tick New Brush, select Art Brush with default settings;
3) Create a 1pt stroke/nofill circle corresponding to the middle of the ring parts where the text bits are supposed to be, apply the Art brush to it, Object>Expand Appearance, and move the circle to the top in the Layers palette, above the Group;
4) Direct Select each of the 6 ring parts and apply the desired colour (you may rotate later, see below);
5) Select the stroked circle and with the Scissors Tool click where the ring parts meet (Smart Guides say intersect except at the sides where they say anchor) so you have 6 circle parts to match the ring parts, then select the 4 circle parts that are not at top and bottom and Object>Path>Add Anchor Points so you have a centre point for each of them (you had one already at top and bottom);
6) Select one of the circle parts and with the Path Type Tool click on the centre point, then type the text bit and in the Character palette adjust the Baseline Shift once and for all (you may need to tick Show Options in the flyout);
7) Repeat 6) for the other circle parts (except the Baseline Shift);
8) Select the ring parts group and Effect>Stylize>Outer Glow, adjust the colour (black) and settings to make it look as desired;
9) With the Direct Selection Tool click where two ring parts meet (avoid the Path Type) to select an end segment and Ctrl/Cmd+C+F+X+F to create a straight stroke/nofill path at the very top of the stacking order, then change the Stroke Weight to the desired width of the gap between ring parts and change the Colour to white;
10) Repeat 9) on the opposite side of the circle, select both 9) and 10) and rotate copies twice by 60 degrees, group all;
11) Rotate everything by 30 degrees to amtch the angles of the image.
Now you have the final appearance with white gaps. If you want to have gaps in the same colour as the background, you may:
12) Select everything and in the Appearance palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask, with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked.
If you want to hide the outer glow at the gaps at the outside (as in the image) or at the inside or both, you may extend the lines in 9) and 10) at either or both ends.

Reporting Services in 2005 Secondary Pie Chart?

Hi,
In 2008 and 20012, secondary pie charts with a percentage threshold from a main pie chart can be easily created. Is it possible to do in 2005?
*CustomAttributes
Thanks.

Hi Robb,
It seems that you are using Dundas Chart Control for SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services not the Dundas Chart Control 2005 that Microsoft has purchased.
Microsoft purchased the license to use Dundas Chart Control 2005 in Reporting Services 2008 and above. Therefore the supported upgrade is from Reporting Services 2005 Dundas Charts to SSRS 2008 (R2) and SSRS 2012 Charts.
If you are using a particular component released by Dundas for SSRS 2008 R2, you won’t be able to upgrade Reporting Services 2008 R2 Reports with Dundas Charts to Reporting Services 2012 Charts.
To confirm this, please check the details of this assembly “DundasRSChart.dll” located under the /Report Server/bin directory.
If the Product Name is “Dundas Chart for Reporting Services 2008 R2”, it indicates that this is a new version of Dundas Chart for SSRS 2008 R2 (i.e. a third party control). If the Product Name is “Microsoft SQL Server”, it indicates that this is the version
that Microsoft has purchased.
In this condition, you have to migrate the DundasRSChart.dll to the SSRS 2012 instance and reference it as the custom assembly in the reports. Please make sure to rename the DLL file so that it won’t replace the native DundasRSChart.dll installed by SQL
Server 2012.
For more information about referencing custom assembly in a report, please see:

Need help to make a Pie Chart

I am trying to draw a pie chart for the Uptime Report.
I have the Following table definition.
create table downtime_detail ( env_code number, down_start date, down_end date );
insert into downtime_detail values (1,to_date('26-JAN-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('26-JAN-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('26-JAN-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('26-JAN-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('01-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('03-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('15-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('15-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('26-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('28-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
Now the Below Query returns me the values val1 and val2 on the basis of which I need to draw a Pie Chart.
==========================================================
select round((DOWN/TOTAL)*100,2) val1 , round(100-((DOWN/TOTAL)*100),2) val2
from
(select sum((DOWN_END - DOWN_START)*24) DOWN from DOWNTIME_DETAIL where ENV_CODE=2 ) a ,
(select ((sysdate - to_date('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')) * 24) TOTAL from dual ) b
VAL1 VAL2
3.64 96.36
==========================================================
Can someone help me try do this ?
Actually I tried but I couldnt put my custom query to get this Pie chart. Or if there is any other better approach please let me know.

nikhilskamik,
I believe all that you are missing in your sql is a NULL. Below is the help text for creating a Flash pie chart.
Specify the SQL query that will populate your chart, for example:
select null, ename, sal
from emp
Alternatively you can write a PL/SQL function return a SQL query, for example:
begin
return 'select null, ename, sal from emp';
end;
Your query should then read:
select null,round((DOWN/TOTAL)*100,2) val1 , round(100-((DOWN/TOTAL)*100),2) val2
from
(select sum((DOWN_END - DOWN_START)*24) DOWN from DOWNTIME_DETAIL where ENV_CODE=2 ) a ,
(select ((sysdate - to_date('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')) * 24) TOTAL from dual ) b

No data in Active sessions pie-chart and availability is 0%

Hi All,
Does anyone know why my Enterprise Manager cosole in Oracle 10g installed on windows xp professional is not showing any data? Availabilty is always 0% for the instance ORCL and the active sessions pie-chart is always showing 0.01 since May 17,2005.
Can anyone tell me how to configure EM so that instance ORCL and the active sessions start showing data again?
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly activate the data request. Post that, Under "request available for reporting" a symbol will appear which means that the data has been moved to Active table and is available for reporting at further levels.
And you can then check for contents in the active table of the DSo, you should get the records.
Change log: Contains the change history for the delta update from the DataStore object into other data targets, such as DataStore objects or InfoCubes. It makes sense in case of delta uploads.

ActiveX and pie chart problem

I am trying to create a bar of pie chart in Excel 2003. I am able to insert my data and create the chart, but I need to set the "SplitValue" to 6. I was able to find the property for doing this but I get an error when I run the vi (see attached). Any thoughts?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think your problem is that you don't have "Index" wired for the ChartGroups property. Thus, it may be returning a collection of chart groups, but you are typecasting it to a single chart group.

SSRS Report Builder 3.0 - Pie Chart

Hi,
I have Pie chart that displays Number of items by Country,
My data set is pulling the correct values.
The 3D effect is true for the pie chart and the Series Labels are set to diplay out of the Slice.
I used the collected style to be SingleSlice and not using percentages but just the values less than or = 5 to be collected to other countries slice.
for labels format I am using a column value from the query where I Concatenate the Value and Name of the country as string as I am not showing the legend on the chart for more space
All the values are showing up right except for one value for one slice which is added extra numbers at the beginning of the number part of the string.
For Example , if for USA there are 320 items it should should show up as USA - 320 as that is the value that the query bring and I double checked that. But that value dipslays USA - 12320 for some reason and this is happening only with one
label.
I might be missing somethign silly but if someone can save my time and help me it would be appreciated.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Chaitanya

Hi Chaitanya,
Sorry for the delay.
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. The issue seems rather odd. Here, I suggest that you create a new report and design the Pie Chart from scratch, and then check the issue again.
If the issue persists, please post the expression of the label data as well as the CustomAttributes settings of the target series of the Pie Chart.

I have no idea how to set up a pie chart for tracking spending with categories

This is what I want to do to help me track my credit card spending.
I want to make a Numbers sheet where i can jot down how much money i spent on a item, and what category that item would go with (example, food, electronics, gas, so on).
and then i want to have a pie chart that will show much how much money i'm spending in each category and how much of a percentage of the total each category takes up of the whole.
I have no idea how to set this up in a sheet. I tried typing it in a few times and every time i go to make a pie chart, it never shows me any of the results i want to see.
can someone please help me set up a sheet to be able to get this information to display correctly in a pie chart?

Brad,
Create a table with the categories and the data (for now you can make up the data):
Now add a chart from the Charts menu in the toolbar:
Now click the "Add Chart Data" button just below the chart.
Now select data (from column B) in the table. Last trick is to click the menu at the bottom-left corner of the window and change the selection to "Plot rows as series" :
Now add formulas to the table to properly summarize the data from your data entry table using the sumif() function.
