The wijpiechart widget allows the user to show customized pie charts. Pie charts are commonly used to display simple values.

A Pie chart draws each series as a slice in a pie. Pie charts have one significant difference when compared to other wijchart chart types: in Pie charts, each series represents one slice of the pie. Therefore, you will never have Pie charts with a single series (they would be just circles). In most cases, Pie charts have multiple series (one per slice) with a single data point in each series. wijpiechart represents series with multiple data points as multiple pies within the chart.

The wijpiechart widget is created by the jquery.wijmo.wijpiechart.js library.

For a listing of all of the options, methods, and events available on this widget, please see the API docs for wijpiechart.

Adaptive for Mobile Use

This widget is an adaptive widget in v3. If you are running v2.3.x or earlier, it is not adaptive. You can download v3 here: Downloads Page.

An adaptive widget is different from a jQuery UI widget in that you can use it in both mobile and non-mobile web applications. To use it in non-mobile applications, just use the regular help. To use it in mobile applications:

• Use jQuery Mobile instead of jQuery UI references
• Do not initialize the widget in script (unless you need to for complex widgets like charts)
• Use the data-role attribute to create the widget in markup

These steps are demonstrated in the jQuery Mobile topic.
