PieChartRenderer | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

PieChartRenderer allows you to create a pie chart for each feature in the layer. The value and color of each pie slice is specified in the attributes property. You can vary the size of each pie based on data with any other field value or Arcade expression using visualVariables.

Known Limitations

PieChartRenderer is only supported in 2D MapView
PieChartRenderer is only supported with the following layer types containing point or polygon geometries: FeatureLayer, CSVLayer, GeoJSONLayer, WFSLayer, and OGCFeatureLayer
PieChartRenderer is not supported with FeatureReductionCluster

Example

layer.renderer = {
  type: "pie-chart",  // autocasts as new PieChartRenderer()
  attributes: [{
    field: "ELEMENTARY_SCHOOL",
    label: "Elementary School",
    color: "red"
  }, {
    field: "MIDDLE_SCHOOL",
    label: "Middle School",
    color: "blue"
  }, {
    field: "HIGH_SCHOOL",
    label: "High School",
    color: "orange"
  }, {
    valueExpression: "$feature.ASSOCIATES_DEGREE + $feature.BACHELOR_DEGREE + $feature.MASTER_DEGREE + $feature.DOCTORATE_DEGREE",
    valueExpressionTitle: "People who completed university",
    label: "University"
    color: "green"

Property Details

attributes Property attributes AttributeColorInfo[]autocast

Defines the variable(s) to include in the pie charts. This is an array of objects, each of which references a numeric field value or Arcade expression used to drive the width of each sector. You must also set a color corresponding to each value.

This property is limited to no more than 10 attributes.

Arcade Visualization Profile

Example

renderer.attributes = [{
  field: "English",
  label: "English speakers",
  color: "red"
}, {
  field: "Spanish",
  label: "Spanish speakers",
  color: "blue"
}, {
  field: "Other",
  label: "All other languages",
  color: "brown"
}];

authoringInfo Inherited Property authoringInfo AuthoringInfoautocast Inherited from Renderer

Authoring metadata only included in renderers generated from one of the Smart Mapping creator methods, such as sizeRendererCreator.createContinuousRenderer() or colorRendererCreator.createContinuousRenderer(). This includes information from UI elements such as sliders and selected classification methods and themes. This allows the authoring clients to save specific overridable settings so that next time it is accessed via the UI, their selections can be remembered.

backgroundFillSymbol Property backgroundFillSymbol SimpleFillSymbol |CIMSymbolautocast

The symbol used to render polygons behind the pie symbols. Only applicable to polygon layers.

Support for CIMSymbol was added at version 4.31.

Example

renderer.backgroundFillSymbol = {
  color: [51, 204, 51, 0.3],
  outline: {
    width: 1,
    color: [255,255,255,0.3]
  }
};

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

defaultColor Property defaultColor Color

The color used to visualize features whose attributes all have null or empty values. By default, this is a transparent color, so no chart displays. You should set this value if you would like to show areas with features, but no data associated with it.

Default Value:new Color([0, 0, 0, 0])

See also

defaultLabel

Example

renderer.defaultColor = "lightgray";

defaultLabel Property defaultLabel String

Describes the defaultColor in the Legend.

Example

renderer.defaultLabel = "No data";

holePercentage Property holePercentage Number

Use this property to create a donut chart. Defines the size of the hole to cut from the center of the chart as a percentage of the entire pie chart. Accepted values are between 0 and 1. For example, a hole percentage of 0 will render a full pie chart. A ratio of 0.5 will remove 50% of the center of the pie, creating a donut.

Default Value:0

Example

renderer.holePercentage = 0.5;

legendOptions Property legendOptions Objectautocast

An object providing options for describing the renderer in the Legend.

Property: title String|null|undefined

Describes the data used by the renderer. This is displayed as the title of the renderer in the Legend and overrides the layer's title.

Example

renderer.legendOptions = {
  title: "Population by educational attainment"
};

othersCategory Property othersCategory Object

Defines the rules for how to aggregate small categories to a generic "others" category.

Properties: color Color

optional
Defines the color used to represent all categories whose pie slices are smaller than the percentage defined by threshold. This is typically used to represent a generic "others" category where slices would otherwise be too small to read.

label String|null|undefined

optional
Describes the color grouping categories smaller than the threshold in the Legend.

threshold Number

optional
Represents the minimum size of individual slices as a percentage of the entire pie. Accepted values are between 0 and 1. All slices that make up a smaller percentage than the threshold will automatically be aggregated to an "others" category represented by the color specified in color. For example, if the threshold is 0.05, then all slices that make up less than 5% of the total pie will be represented with the color.

Example

// all categories that make up less than 4%
// of the total will combine to an "others"
// category represented with a gray color.
renderer.othersCategory = {
  color: "gray",
  threshold: 0.04
};

outline Property outline SimpleLineSymbolautocast

Defines the outline of the pie chart. The outline width and color is applied to the outer outline of the pie (and inner outline in the case of donut charts).

Example

renderer.outline = {
  width: 0.5,
  color: "black"
};

size Property size Numberautocast Autocasts from String|Number

Defines the size of each pie chart in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

Default Value:12

Examples

// size in points
renderer.size = 14;

// size in pixels
renderer.size = "20px";

// size in points
renderer.size = "14pt";

type Property type Stringreadonly

The type of renderer.

For PieChartRenderer the type is always "pie-chart".

visualVariables Property visualVariables Array<(SizeVariable|OpacityVariable)>autocast Autocasts from Object []

An array of Size Visual Variable objects. Typically, this is used to vary the size of each pie chart based on the sum of all categories included in the pie.

Example

renderer.visualVariables = [{
  type: "size",
  valueExpression: "$feature.category1 + $feature.category2 + $feature.category3",
  valueExpressionTitle: "Total population"
  minSize: 20,
  maxSize: 72,
  minDataValue: 100,
  maxDataValue: 1000000
}];
