Browser support
This plugin supports all major browsers that support the canvas element. With excanvas you can even render the charts on IE 7+8.
Get started
To use the easy pie chart plugin you need to load the current version of jQuery (testet with 1.7.2) and the source (css+js) of the plugin. You can also use bower to install the component:
bower install jquery.easy-pie-chartThen just add the following lines to the head of your website:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery.easy-pie-chart.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet"type="text/css" href="/path/to/jquery.easy-pie-chart.css">The second step is to add a element to your site to represent chart and add the data-percent attribute with the percent number the pie chart should have:
<div class="chart" data-percent="73">73%</div>Finally you have to initialize the plugin with your desired configuration:
<script type="text/javascript">$(function() { $('.chart').easyPieChart({ //your configuration goes here });});</script>Configuration parameter
You can pass a set of these options to the initialize function to set a custom behaviour and look for the plugin.
| Property (Type) | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| barColor | #ef1e25 | The color of the curcular bar. You can pass either a css valid color string like rgb, rgba hex or string colors. But you can also pass a function that accepts the current percentage as a value to return a dynamically generated color. |
| trackColor | #f2f2f2 | The color of the track for the bar, false to disable rendering. |
| scaleColor | #dfe0e0 | The color of the scale lines, false to disable rendering. |
| lineCap | round | Defines how the ending of the bar line looks like. Possible values are: butt, round and square. |
| lineWidth | 3 | Width of the bar line in px. |
| size | 110 | Size of the pie chart in px. It will always be a square. |
| animate | false | Time in milliseconds for a eased animation of the bar growing, or false to deactivate. |
| onStart | $.noop | Callback function that is called at the start of any animation (only if animate is not false). |
| onStop | $.noop | Callback function that is called at the end of any animation (only if animate is not false). |
| onStep | $.noop | Callback function that is called during animations providing the current value (the context is the plugin, so you can access the DOM element via this.$el). |
Plugin API
If you want to update the current percentage of the a pie chart, you can call the update method. The instance of the plugin is saved in the jQuery-data.
<script type="text/javascript">$(function() { //create instance $('.chart').easyPieChart({ animate: 2000 }); //update instance after 5 sec setTimeout(function() { $('.chart').data('easyPieChart').update(40); }, 5000);});</script>Credits
