Pie Chart Exploded On Load

Question

Hello All,
Anyone here knows where to place the exploded="true" so that the chart will be exploded when the page load:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone = "yes"?>
<anychart>
  <settings>
    <animation enabled="true"/>
    <no_data show_waiting_animation="False">
      <label>
        <text>#NO_DATA_MESSAGE#</text>
        <font family="Verdana" bold="yes" size="10"/>
      </label>
    </no_data>
  </settings>
  <margin left="0" top="0" right="0" bottom="0" />
  <charts>
    <chart plot_type="Pie" name="chart_30009006600473016877" exploded="True">
      <chart_settings>
        <title text_align="Center" position="Top" padding="0" >
          <text>Pies Chart</text>
          <font family="Tahoma" size="14" color="0x000000" />
        </title>
        <chart_background>
          <fill type="Solid" color="0xffffff" opacity="0" />
          <border enabled="false"/>
          <corners type="Square"/>
        </chart_background>
        <data_plot_background>
        </data_plot_background>
        <chart_animation type="Appear" interpolation_type="Quadratic" show_mode="OneByOne"/>
      </chart_settings>
      <data_plot_settings enable_3d_mode="true">
        <pie_series style="Aqua" >
          <tooltip_settings enabled="true">
            <format><![CDATA[{%Name}{enabled:False} - {%Value}{numDecimals:0,decimalSeparator:.,thousandsSeparator:\,}]]></format>
            <font family="Tahoma" size="10" color="0x000000" />
              <position anchor="Float" valign="Top" padding="10" />
          </tooltip_settings>
          <label_settings enabled="true" mode="Outside" multi_line_align="Center">
            <format><![CDATA[{%Name}{enabled:False} - {%Value}{numDecimals:,decimalSeparator:.,thousandsSeparator:\,}]]></format>
            <background enabled="false" />
            <font family="Tahoma" size="10" color="0x000000" />
          </label_settings>
          <pie_style>
          </pie_style>
          <marker_settings enabled="True" >
            <marker type="None" />
          </marker_settings>
          <connector color="Black" opacity="0.4"/>
        </pie_series>
      </data_plot_settings>
#DATA#
    </chart>
  </charts>
</anychart>
Thanks in advance

Hi,
To set the slices of your pie chart to "exploded" upon page load, the setting of 'exploded="True"' would need to be applied to each point of the data component of the chart XML. So you would need to replace the substitution string #DATA# with the customised data containing this new attribute. For example:
<data><series><point name="ADAMS" y="1100" exploded="True"/></series></data>
How you choose to do so is up to you, but I've outlined one possible option on my sample application, https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:117, which uses PL/SQL to generate the data XML with the new attribute. As you'll see in the AnyChart online User's Guide, specifically in section Pie and Donut Chart, they've referred to a series level attribute <series exploded="True" />,but this option currently doesn't appear to be working.  I've contacted AnyChart regarding this behaviour, and will hopefully receive clarification on whether or not the documented series level attribute works.  In the meantime, applying the attribute to each point of the data series will provide the behaviour you're looking for.
I hope this helps.
