Pie Slice "Explosion"

[randomsolutions]

Is there a way to separate the individual pie slices so they aren't touching? In excel this functionality is called "Pie Explosion". Also, is there a way to turn off the "Explosion" of the selected pie slice?

Hello Daniel Myers,

Please check this example and the following help topic. When you select a pie slice through your mouse or the exposed interactivity API, the slice is exploded.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the response. That didn't really answer my question though. I'd like to have ALL the pie slices exploded from the beginning (not just when they have been selected). In addition to this, I'd like to NOT have the explosion effect take place upon selection of an individual slice since the pie slices will already be in an "exploded" state. I can't turn off the pie slice interactivity because I still need to "select" a slice.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

Hello,

In order to have all Pie sleices exploded from the beginning you should define the interactivity settings like this:

pieSeries.SeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings.SelectionMode = ChartSelectionMode.Multiple;
pieSeries.SeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings.SelectionScope = InteractivityScope.Item;

then, create new event handler on LayoutUpdated:

pieChart.LayoutUpdated += new EventHandler(pieChart_LayoutUpdated);

and select the series, so before the chart loads, all items will be selected and your chart will be exploded:

void pieChart_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 pieChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.SelectSeries();
}
