Deleting a Slice From a Pie Chart

How to:

The deleteSlice property deletes a slice from a pie chart (effectively, assigns the slice a transparent color).

Syntax: How to Delete a Slice From a Pie Chart 

"series":
[
    {
      "series": number,
      "group": number,
      "deleteSlice": boolean,
   }
]

where:

"series": number

Is a zero-based series number or "all" to delete all slices. If the series does not exist in the chart, the property is ignored.

"group": number

For multi-pie charts, is an optional zero-based group (pie) number. If the group does not exist in the chart, the property is ignored. If a group number is not specified, the slice is deleted from all pies.

"deleteSlice": boolean

Can be:

  • true, to delete the slice.
  • false, to restore the slice. This is the default value.

Example: Deleting Pie Slices

The following request generates a pie chart, but deletes the slices for series 2, 4, and 6: 

GRAPH FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
SUM COGS_US 
ACROSS PRODUCT_CATEGORY
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH PIE

"series": [
	{"series": 0, "color": "cyan"},
	{"series": 1, "color": "bisque"},
	{"series": 2, "color": "slateblue", "deleteSlice": true},
	{"series": 3, "color": "red"},
	{"series": 4, "color": "green", "deleteSlice": true},
	{"series": 5, "color": "yellow"},
	{"series": 6, "color": "blue", "deleteSlice": true}]
*END
