// A utility to allow us to create arrays with data in one line of code
function Array() {
    var result = ArrayNew(1);
    var i = 0;

// The data for the pie chart
data = Array(25, 18, 15, 12, 8, 30, 35);

// The labels for the pie chart
labels = Array("Labor", "Licenses", "Taxes", "Legal", "Insurance", "Facilities", "Production");

// Create a PieChart object of size 450 x 270 pixels
c = cd.PieChart(450, 270);

// Set the center of the pie at (150, 100) and the radius to 80 pixels
c.setPieSize(150, 135, 100);

// add a legend box where the top left corner is at (330, 50)
c.addLegend(330, 60);

// modify the sector label format to show percentages only
c.setLabelFormat("{percent}%");

// Set the pie data and the pie labels
c.setData(data, labels);

// Use rounded edge shading, with a 1 pixel white (FFFFFF) border
c.setSectorStyle(cd.RoundedEdgeShading, "0xffffff", 1);

// Output the chart
chart1URL = c.makeSession(GetPageContext(), "chart1");

// Include tool tip for the chart
imageMap1 = c.getHTMLImageMap("", "", "title='{label}: US${value}K ({percent}%)'");
