ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Start Angle and Direction


  

This example demonstrates different sector layout angles and directions.

By default, ChartDirector positions sectors starting from the upward pointing position, and in clockwise direction.

The start angle and layout direction can be changed using PieChart.setStartAngle.

One common application for PieChart.setStartAngle is to facilitate layout of pie charts containing many small sectors. Please refer to Side Label Layout for an example.
