Hey @SkepticalTiger,

 

Welcome to the GreenSock Forum.

 

There may be different ways to build and animate pie charts.
I call this version "PACMAN loves pie charts!".

 

 

 

 

Happy tweening ...

Hello Mikel, 

 

This post was one of the ones I say and was referring to! 

[Need feedback on Pie Chart idea]

I plan on making a questionnaire that can be linked to a database, api or an array the user manually enters (lets say it's for recipes) which would animate a pie chart with GSAP each time a new selection was made, essentially sorting and excluding elements akin to narrowing your search results on Amazon. Also, the parameters could be set to provide results giving a percentage of the most likely/best option based on the choices similar to a "who are you most like" type quiz. Ideally, I plan on designing this to be modular and something someone could plug into their own project easily - fairly easily. 

 

Looking at some other forum topics it looks as if drawSVG and possibly morphSVG would be the way to go. I could build a random color generator as an option for the slices and have the radio/checkboxes linked to updating chart and list next to it.

 

I still need to figure out the JS portion if the pie chart is being used for a "who are you most like" type of use (I don't know the exact name) and how I would get everything into percentages, but I'll figure it out. Any pitfalls, issues or areas I might want to be aware of ahead of time?
