Introduction
I hope you have read my first two articles in this series that explains the loading of a Bar Chart, Pie Chart and Doughnut Chart. Please see the following links.
Now we will explain a client-side Doughnut Chart widget in HTML5.
Background
Please download the necessary files from here http://www.chartjs.org/.
Using the code
A simple HTML
- <!DOCTYPE html>
- <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
- <head>
- <title>Doughnut Chart Using Chart.js</title>
- </head>
- <body></body>
- </html>
Included JavaScript file
- <script src="Chart.js"></script>
Call the Chart Function
- window.onload = function () {
- var canvasObject = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
- window.myDoughnut = new Chart(canvasObject).Doughnut(doughnutChartData, {
- responsive: true
- });
- }
Here we are loading the chart into the myChart.
As you can see in the preceding code, doughnutChartData is the data we will load into the chart.
- var doughnutChartData = [
- {

- highlight: "#FF5A5E",
- label: "Monday"
- },
- {

- label: "Tuesday"
- },
- {
- value: 150,
- color: "#FDB45C",
- highlight: "#FFC870",
