Pie Chart Property Reference

In the widget's side panel (Figure 195, “Widget menu options”), click the settings icon and the style icon to configure the following properties.

  • Title

    The title of the widget as displayed in the dashboard. In the example Figure 210, “Pie Chart”, the chart shows all HTTP methods, except PUT and HEAD.

  • Description

    The description of the chart. This is free form text supporting markdown syntax.

    This same description appears in the dashboard as a tooltip when hovering over the question mark on top of the widget.

  • Layout

    • Inner Radius

    Sets the width of the inner circle of your pie. The width values are expressed in pixels.

    • Max Category Count

    Limits the number of slices in the pie chart. The smaller slices will be grouped into the category called Other.

  • Legend displays the legend under the pie

    • Series labels

      Valid options for displaying labels are:

      • Truncate — shortens the length of the series for a better visualization within the chart. It is used in case of long labels that would exceed the maximum space allowed in the chart. It is the default option. Hover the mouse over a label, then press and hold ALT to momentarily see the full series.

      • Show full — shows the full name of the series, that is, the entire value is displayed in the label or tooltip. In case of very long labels, it might affect their visibility within the chart. Hover the mouse over a label, then press and hold ALT to momentarily see the truncated series.

    • Show Legend checkbox

      Shows or hides the legend in the pie. If ticked, it prompts the following properties.

      • Position

        Sets the position of the legend in the chart. Valid options are:

        • Right

        • Bottom

    • Visible rows

      Text field to enter the desired number of visible rows in the legend to appear.

    • Show Title checkbox

      Shows or hides the legend's title.

      • Title

        Text field to enter the desired title for the legend.

    • Value format

      Format the values as Raw, Abbreviated or Metric. For example, if the raw formatting is 1,000, abbreviated would be 1K, and metric would be 1k (1 kilo).

  • Colors

    • Palette controls widget colors. Select Inherit to apply the dashboard color scheme, or select Custom to define unique colors for this widget.

  • Small multiples

    When toggled, the query result is partitioned using the first grouping field or the specified field in the settings, and a visualization for each subresult is displayed in a grid.

    • Field name — name of the field used to partition the query result.

    • Number of columns — the number of columns in the grid. If the number of visualizations are less than the desired number of columns, the number of visualizations are used instead. If the resulting size of each visualization will be smaller than 150px, the number of columns are also overwritten by the maximum possible.

    • Show borders — shows or hides a border around each visualization.

  • Series formatting

    Set the color of each series and assign each field the title you want to see displayed in the chart.
