GWT Highcharts - Pie Chart with Legends

Following is an example of a Pie Chart with Legends.

We have already seen the configurations used to draw a chart in Highcharts Configuration Syntax chapter.

An example of a Pie Chart with Legends is given below.

Configurations

Let us now see the additional configurations/steps taken.

chart

Configure the chart type to be 'pie' based. chart.type decides the series type for the chart. Here, the default value is "line".

chart.setType(Type.PIE);

plotOptions

Configure the plotOptions to have legends in pie chart using plotOptions.pie.showInLegend attribute.

chart.setPiePlotOptions(new PiePlotOptions()
   .setAllowPointSelect(true)  
   .setCursor(Cursor.POINTER)  
   .setPieDataLabels(new PieDataLabels()
      .setEnabled(false)  
   )
   .setShowInLegend(true)  
)
