3D Pie Chart

This example extends the Simple Pie Chart example by drawing the chart in 3D, adding a title, and exploding a sector.

Add a title to the chart using BaseChart.addTitle.
Draw the pie in 3D using PieChart.set3D.
Explode a sector using PieChart.setExplode.

# Create a PieChart object of size 360 x 300 pixels
c = PieChart(360, 300)

# Set the center of the pie at (180, 140) and the radius to 100 pixels
c.setPieSize(180, 140, 100)

# Add a title to the pie chart
c.addTitle("Project Cost Breakdown")

# Draw the pie in 3D
c.set3D()

# Set the pie data and the pie labels
c.setData(data, labels)

# Explode the 1st sector (index = 0)
c.setExplode(0)

# Output the chart
c.makeChart("threedpie.png")
