In this section, we will discuss how to create pyramid/cone/funnel charts using ChartDirector through a number of examples.

TitleDescription

Cone ChartDemonstrates using PyramidChart.setConeSize to specify using a cone instead of a pyramid to represent the data.
Funnel ChartDemonstrates using PyramidChart.setFunnelSize to specify using a funnel instead of a pyramid to represent the data.
Pyramid ElevationDemonstrates viewing the pyramid at different elevation angles, configured with PyramidChart.setViewAngle.
Pyramid RotationDemonstrates viewing the pyramid at different rotation angles, configured with PyramidChart.setViewAngle.
Pyramid GapDemonstrates the effects of different pyramid layer gap sizes, configured with PyramidChart.setLayerGap.
