Pie Chart Generator ?

[HaunGo]

Hello..   Does anyone know of a good Pie Chart Generator Class?     I bet there's a PieChart out there somewhere with GreenSocks!  

 

With animation transitions..   ?

 

Thanks!

Sorry don't know of one that uses GSAP. 

 

They can be a real pain to build from scratch though. Suppose you have large disparities in the data like

 

1

1

1

1

3000

 

Type those values into this: http://mrnussbaum.com/smartpoll3/

 

See how the small wedges aren't even visible? Suppose each one had a label next to it? They'd be on top of each other... or what if each wedge had a tooltip that popped up on rollover? You wouldn't know which one you were looking at.

 

That's an extreme example but you can run into those issues very easily.

 

Also, there are lots of thoughts on Why you shouldn't use pie charts

 

I don't mean to sound crass, I just know I had a tough time dealing with these issue in the past, so I just want to save you some pain if at all avoidable.

 

That aside, if you have to go forward with it, start here: http://activeden.net/search?utf8=✓&term=pie+chart I'm sure there are plenty of decent ones that will save you some headaches. A few bucks could save you a few hours of misery;)

Thanks Carl, 

 

I don't really need it for flexible dynamic data.. it's for a conceptual animation.  I will need the slices to animate as I add or remove their percentage though.

 

I'll look around the Flash Den

 

Gracias,

I would suggest you a chart software KoolChart which works great with the animation transitions for creating various types of free charts.
