ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Pie Chart with Legend (2)




This example demonstrates a pie chart with a legend box, together with many effects, such as gradient color background, rounded frame, soft drop shadow, custom sector colors, sector gradient shading, customized sector labels and using CDML and Parameter Substitution and Formatting to format legend text.
