Following is an example of a Donut Chart.

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

Let us now see the additional configurations/steps taken.

chart

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

   type: 'pie'
};
