Charts - Pie

Pie charts express portions of a whole, using arcs or angles within a circle.

Basics

To plot a pie chart, a series must have a data property containing an array of objects. Those objects should contain a property value. They can also have a label property.

If you plan to update/reorder those data, you should add an id property which is used for key props.

Colors

The pie colors can be customized in two ways.

1. You can provide a color palette. Each arc of the pie will be colored according to this palette.
2. You can provide a color property in data objects which overrides the palette.

<PieChart
  colors={['red', 'blue', 'green']} // Use palette
  series={[
    {
      data: [
        { value: 10, color: 'orange' }, // Use color property
        // ...
      ],
    },
  ]}
/>

Sizing

Pie series shape is described by multiple properties:

• innerRadius The radius between the center and the beginning of the arc. The default is set to 0.
• outerRadius The radius between the center and the end of the arc. The default is the largest value available in the drawing area.
• paddingAngle The angle (in degrees) between two arcs.
• cornerRadius Similar to the CSS border-radius.
• startAngle/endAngle The angle range of the pie chart. Values are given in degrees.
• cx/cy The center of the pie charts. By default the middle of the drawing area.

Labels

You can display labels on the arcs. To do so, the series should get arcLabel property. It can either get a function that gets the object associated with the arc and returns the label. Or you can pass one of the following values:

• 'value' display the raw value of the arc.
• 'formattedValue' display the returned value of valueFormatter for the arc.
• 'label' display the label property of the arc if provided.

To avoid displaying labels on small arcs, you can provide arcLabelMinAngle property. Arcs with angles smaller than the value (in deg) will not have labels.

Highlight

Pie series can get highlightScope property to manage element highlighting. Its behavior is described in the dedicated page.

When elements are highlighted or faded they can be customized with dedicated CSS classes: .MuiPieArc-faded and .MuiPieArc-highlighted.

CSS is well suited to modify the color, stroke-width, or opacity. However, to modify the size of a pie arc, you must use the highlighted and faded properties, with which you can override any of the properties innerRadius, outerRadius, and cornerRadius when an arc is highlighted or faded.

If you do not want to provide absolute values, you can use additionalRadius which will be added to the outerRadius. This value can be negative to reduce arc size.
