Donut Charts

Donut charts are percentage-based. A donut chart is similar to a pie chart, but it has a hole in the center. Each data set must be defined as a new instance of the SingleValueColumn object. Follow these steps to configure your portlet to use donut charts.

  1. Import the chart taglib along with the DonutChartConfig and SingleValueColumn classes into your bundle’s init.jsp file:

    <%@ taglib prefix="chart" uri="http://liferay.com/tld/chart" %>
    <%@ page import="com.liferay.frontend.taglib.chart.model.percentage.donut.DonutChartConfig" %>
    <%@ page import="com.liferay.frontend.taglib.chart.model.SingleValueColumn" %>
    
  2. Add the following Java scriptlet to the top of your view.jsp:

    <%
    DonutChartConfig _donutChartConfig = new DonutChartConfig();
    
    _donutChartConfig.addColumns(
      new SingleValueColumn("data1", 30),
      new SingleValueColumn("data2", 70)
    );
    %>
    
  3. Add the <chart> taglib to the view.jsp, passing the _donutChartConfig as the config attribute’s value:

    <chart:donut
      config="<%= _donutChartConfig %>"
    />
    

A donut chart is similar to a pie chart, but it has a hole in the center.

Awesome! Now you know how to create donut charts for your apps.
