Highcharts Display Legend Pie Chart

Highcharts Pie Chart

The following example demonstrates displaying a legend pie chart.

We have already learned the basic configuration syntax of Highcharts in the previous chapters. Next, let's look at other configurations.

---

Configuration

series configuration

Set the series type attribute to "pie"; series.type describes the data series type. The default value is "line".

var series = {
   type: 'pie'
};

plotOptions

plotOptions uses the plotOptions.pie.showInLegend attribute to set whether to display the legend.

var plotOptions = {
   pie: {
      allowPointSelect: true,
      cursor: 'pointer',
      dataLabels: {
         enabled: false           
      },
      showInLegend: true
   }
};
