Overview
A pie chart that is rendered within the browser using SVG or VML. Displays tooltips when hovering over slices.
Example
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Task', 'Hours per Day'],
['Work', 11],
['Eat', 2],
['Commute', 2],
['Watch TV', 2],
['Sleep', 7]
]);
var options = {
title: 'My Daily Activities'
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="piechart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Making a 3D Pie Chart
If you set the is3D option to true, your pie chart will be drawn as though it has three dimensions:
is3D is false by default, so here we explicitly set it to true:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Task', 'Hours per Day'],
['Work', 11],
['Eat', 2],
['Commute', 2],
['Watch TV', 2],
['Sleep', 7]
]);
var options = {
title: 'My Daily Activities',
is3D: true,
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart_3d'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="piechart_3d" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Making a Donut Chart
A donut chart is a pie chart with a hole in the center. You can create donut charts with the pieHole option:
The pieHole option should be set to a number between 0 and 1, corresponding to the ratio of radii between the hole and the chart. Numbers between 0.4 and 0.6 will look best on most charts. Values equal to or greater than 1 will be ignored, and a value of 0 will completely shut your piehole.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Task', 'Hours per Day'],
['Work', 11],
['Eat', 2],
['Commute', 2],
['Watch TV', 2],
['Sleep', 7]
]);
var options = {
title: 'My Daily Activities',
pieHole: 0.4,
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('donutchart'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="donutchart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
You can't combine the pieHole and is3D options; if you do, pieHole will be ignored.
Rotating a Pie Chart
By default, pie charts begin with the left edge of the first slice pointing straight up. You can change that with the pieStartAngle option:
Here, we rotate the chart clockwise 100 degrees with an option of pieStartAngle: 100. (So chosen because that particular angle happens to make the "Italian" label fit inside the slice.)
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Language', 'Speakers (in millions)'],
['German', 5.85],
['French', 1.66],
['Italian', 0.316],
['Romansh', 0.0791]
]);
var options = {
legend: 'none',
pieSliceText: 'label',
title: 'Swiss Language Use (100 degree rotation)',
pieStartAngle: 100,
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="piechart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Exploding a Slice
You can separate pie slices from the rest of the chart with the offset property of the slices option: To separate a slice, create a slices object and assign the appropriate slice number an offset between 0 and 1. Below, we assign progressively larger offsets to slices 4 (Gujarati), 12 (Marathi), 14 (Oriya), and 15 (Punjabi):
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Language', 'Speakers (in millions)'],
['Assamese', 13], ['Bengali', 83], ['Bodo', 1.4],
['Dogri', 2.3], ['Gujarati', 46], ['Hindi', 300],
['Kannada', 38], ['Kashmiri', 5.5], ['Konkani', 5],
['Maithili', 20], ['Malayalam', 33], ['Manipuri', 1.5],
['Marathi', 72], ['Nepali', 2.9], ['Oriya', 33],
['Punjabi', 29], ['Sanskrit', 0.01], ['Santhali', 6.5],
['Sindhi', 2.5], ['Tamil', 61], ['Telugu', 74], ['Urdu', 52]
]);
var options = {
title: 'Indian Language Use',
legend: 'none',
pieSliceText: 'label',
slices: { 4: {offset: 0.2},
12: {offset: 0.3},
14: {offset: 0.4},
15: {offset: 0.5},
},
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="piechart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Removing Slices
To omit a slice, change the color to 'transparent':
We also used the pieStartAngle to rotate the chart 135 degrees, pieSliceText to remove the text from the slices, and tooltip.trigger to disable tooltips:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]}); google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Pac Man', 'Percentage'], ['', 75], ['', 25] ]); var options = { legend: 'none', pieSliceText: 'none', pieStartAngle: 135, tooltip: { trigger: 'none' }, slices: { 0: { color: 'yellow' }, 1: { color: 'transparent' } } }; var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('pacman')); chart.draw(data, options); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="pacman" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div> </body> </html> Loading
The google.load package name is "corechart".
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages: ["corechart"]});The visualization's class name is google.visualization.PieChart.
var visualization = new google.visualization.PieChart(container);

| backgroundColor.stroke | string | '#666' | The color of the chart border, as an HTML color string. |
| backgroundColor.strokeWidth | number | 0 | The border width, in pixels. |
| backgroundColor.fill | string | 'white' | The chart fill color, as an HTML color string. |
| chartArea | Object | null | An object with members to configure the placement and size of the chart area (where the chart itself is drawn, excluding axis and legends). Two formats are supported: a number, or a number followed by %. A simple number is a value in pixels; a number followed by % is a percentage. Example: chartArea:{left:20,top:0,width:'50%',height:'75%'} |
| chartArea.backgroundColor | string or object | 'white' | Chart area background color. When a string is used, it can be either a hex string (e.g., '#fdc') or an English color name. When an object is used, the following properties can be provided:stroke: the color, provided as a hex string or English color name.strokeWidth: if provided, draws a border around the chart area of the given width (and with the color of stroke).
|
| chartArea.left | number or string | auto | How far to draw the chart from the left border. |
| chartArea.top | number or string | auto | How far to draw the chart from the top border. |
| chartArea.width | number or string | auto | Chart area width. |
| chartArea.height | number or string | auto | Chart area height. |
| colors | Array of strings | default colors | The colors to use for the chart elements. An array of strings, where each element is an HTML color string, for example: colors:['red','#004411']. |
| enableInteractivity | boolean | true | Whether the chart throws user-based events or reacts to user interaction. If false, the chart will not throw 'select' or other interaction-based events (but willthrow ready or error events), and will not display hovertext or otherwise change depending on user input. |
| fontSize | number | automatic | The default font size, in pixels, of all text in the chart. You can override this using properties for specific chart elements. |
| fontName | string | 'Arial' | The default font face for all text in the chart. You can override this using properties for specific chart elements. |
| forceIFrame | boolean | false | Draws the chart inside an inline frame. (Note that on IE8, this option is ignored; all IE8 charts are drawn in i-frames.) |
| height | number | height of the containing element | Height of the chart, in pixels. |
| is3D | boolean | false | If true, displays a three-dimensional chart. |
| legend | Object | null | An object with members to configure various aspects of the legend. To specify properties of this object, you can use object literal notation, as shown here: {position: 'top', textStyle: {color: 'blue', fontSize: 16}}

| legend.alignment | string | automatic | Alignment of the legend. Can be one of the following:- 'start' - Aligned to the start of the area allocated for the legend.
- 'center' - Centered in the area allocated for the legend.
- 'end' - Aligned to the end of the area allocated for the legend.
Start, center, and end are relative to the style -- vertical or horizontal -- of the legend. For example, in a 'right' legend, 'start' and 'end' are at the top and bottom, respectively; for a 'top' legend, 'start' and 'end' would be at the left and right of the area, respectively. The default value depends on the legend's position. For 'bottom' legends, the default is 'center'; other legends default to 'start'. |

- 'labeled' - Draws lines connecting slices to their data values.
- 'left' - Displays the legend left of the chart.
- 'none' - Displays no legend.
- 'right' - Displays the legend right of the chart.
- 'top' - Displays the legend above the chart.
|
| legend.maxLines | number | 1 | Maximum number of lines in the legend. Set this to a number greater than one to add lines to your legend. Note: The exact logic used to determine the actual number of lines rendered is still in flux. This option currently works only when legend.position is 'top'. |
| legend.textStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the legend text style. The object has this format: { color: <string>, fontName: <string>, fontSize: <number>, bold: <boolean>, italic: <boolean> } The color can be any HTML color string, for example: 'red' or '#00cc00'. Also see fontName and fontSize. |

- 'value' - The quantitative value of the slice.
- 'label' - The name of the slice.
- 'none' - No text is displayed.
|
| pieSliceTextStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the slice text style.

| pieStartAngle | Number | 0 | The angle, in degrees, to rotate the chart by. The default of 0 will orient the leftmost edge of the first slice directly up. |
| reverseCategories | boolean | false | If true, draws slices counterclockwise. The default is to draw clockwise. |
| pieResidueSliceColor | string | '#ccc' | Color for the combination slice that holds all slices belowsliceVisibilityThreshold. |
| pieResidueSliceLabel | string | 'Other' | A label for the combination slice that holds all slices belowsliceVisibilityThreshold. |
| slices | Array of objects, or object with nested objects | {} | An array of objects, each describing the format of the corresponding slice in the pie. To use default values for a slice, specify an empty object (i.e., {}). If a slice or a value is not specified, the global value will be used. Each object supports the following properties: color - The color to use for this slice. Specify a valid HTML color string.offset - How far to separate the slice from the rest of the pie, from 0.0 (not at all) to 1.0 (the pie's radius).textStyle - Overrides the global pieSliceTextSlice for this slice.
You can specify either an array of objects, each of which applies to the slice in the order given, or you can specify an object where each child has a numeric key indicating which slice it applies to. For example, the following two declarations are identical, and declare the first slice as black and the fourth as red: slices: [{color: 'black', {}, {}, {color: 'red'}] slices: {0: {color: 'black'}, 3: {color: 'red'}} |
| sliceVisibilityThreshold | number | 1/720 | The slice relative part, below which a slice will not show individually. All slices that have not passed this threshold will be combined to a single slice, whose size is the sum of all their sizes. Default is not to show individually any slice which is smaller than half a degree. |

| titleTextStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the title text style. The object has this format: { color: <string>, fontName: <string>, fontSize: <number>, bold: <boolean>, italic: <boolean> } The color can be any HTML color string, for example: 'red' or '#00cc00'. Also see fontName and fontSize. |
| tooltip | Object | null | An object with members to configure various tooltip elements. To specify properties of this object, you can use object literal notation, as shown here: {textStyle: {color: '#FF0000'}, showColorCode: true} |
| tooltip.showColorCode | boolean | false | If true, show colored squares next to the slice information in the tooltip. |
| tooltip.text | string | 'both' | What information to display when the user hovers over a pie slice. The following values are supported: - 'both' - [Default] Display both the absolute value of the slice and the percentage of the whole.
- 'value' - Display only the absolute value of the slice.
- 'percentage' - Display only the percentage of the whole represented by the slice.
|
| tooltip.textStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the tooltip text style. The object has this format: { color: <string>, fontName: <string>, fontSize: <number>, bold: <boolean>, italic: <boolean> } The color can be any HTML color string, for example: 'red' or '#00cc00'. Also see fontName and fontSize. |
| tooltip.trigger | string | 'focus' | The user interaction that causes the tooltip to be displayed: - 'focus' - The tooltip will be displayed when the user hovers over the element.
- 'none' - The tooltip will not be displayed.

cli.getBoundingBox('chartarea').height- Width of the third bar in the first series of a bar or column chart
cli.getBoundingBox('bar#0#2').width- Bounding box of the fifth wedge of a pie chart
cli.getBoundingBox('slice#4')- Bounding box of the chart data of a vertical (e.g., column) chart:
cli.getBoundingBox('vAxis#0#gridline')- Bounding box of the chart data of a horizontal (e.g., bar) chart:
cli.getBoundingBox('hAxis#0#gridline')
Values are relative to the container of the chart. Call this after the chart is drawn. |
