The Pie Chart Control

:::info This article is a quick guide to use the PieChart control, you can explore all the properties and the source code at the [ApiExplorer]({{ website_url }}/api/{{ version }}/LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.{{ platform }}.PieChart). :::

The PieChart control can build Pie, Doughnut and gauges charts, this article will cover only Pie and Doughnut charts, if you need to know more about gauges please read [this guide]({{ website_url }}/docs/{{ platform }}/{{ version }}/PieChart.Gauges).

{{~ if xaml ~}}

using LiveChartsCore;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView;

namespace ViewModelsSamples.Pies.Basic
{
    public class ViewModel
    {
        public ISeries[] Series { get; set; }
            = new ISeries[]
            {
                new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 2 } },
                new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 } },
                new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 1 } },
                new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 } },
                new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 3 } }
            };
    }
}

<lvc:PieChart
    Series="{Binding Series}">
</lvc:PieChart>

{{~ end ~}}

{{~ if blazor ~}}

<PieChart
    Series="series">
</PieChart>

private ISeries[] series = new ISeries[]
{
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 2 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 1 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 3 } }
};

{{~ end ~}}

{{~ if winforms ~}} Drag a new PieChart control from your toolbox, then in the code behind assign the Series property:

PieChart1.Series = new ISeries[]
{
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 2 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 1 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 } },
    new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 3 } }
};

{{~ end ~}}

InitialRotation property

Controls the angle in degrees where the first slice is drawn, the InitialRotation property will change the start angle of the pie, the following diagram explains where the PieChart rotation starts:

{{~ if xaml ~}}

<lvc:PieChart
    InitialRotation="-90">
</lvc:PieChart>

{{~ end ~}}

{{~ if blazor ~}}

<PieChart
    InitialRotation="-90">
</PieChart>

{{~ end ~}}

{{~ if winforms ~}} Drag a new PieChart control from your toolbox, then in the code behind assign the Series property:

PieChart1.InitialRotation = -90;

{{~ end ~}}

Notice a change in the InitialRotation property is animated automatically based on the chart animations settings:

MaxAngle property

This property determines the complete angle in degrees of the chart, the default value is 360.

{{~ if xaml ~}}

<lvc:PieChart
    MaxAngle="270">
</lvc:PieChart>

{{~ end ~}}

{{~ if blazor ~}}

<PieChart
    MaxAngle="270">
</PieChart>

{{~ end ~}}

{{~ if winforms ~}} Drag a new PieChart control from your toolbox, then in the code behind assign the Series property:

PieChart1.MaxAngle = 270;

{{~ end ~}}

Notice the MaxAngle property is animated automatically based on the chart animations settings:
