Client-Side Chart Widget in HTML5: Part 4 (Doughnut Chart)

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

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>  
  2. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
  3.    <head>  
  4.        <title>Doughnut Chart Using Chart.js</title>  
  5.    </head>  
  6.    <body></body>  
  7. </html> 

Included JavaScript file

  1. <script src="Chart.js"></script> 

Call the Chart Function

  1. window.onload = function () {  
  2.     var canvasObject = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");  
  3.     window.myDoughnut = new Chart(canvasObject).Doughnut(doughnutChartData, {  
  4.     responsive: true  
  5.     });  

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.

  1. var doughnutChartData = [  
  2.     {  
  3.          value: 200,  
  4.          color: "#F7464A",  
  5.          highlight: "#FF5A5E",  
  6.          label: "Monday"  
  7.     },  
  8.     {  
  9.          value: 50,  
  10.          color: "#46BFBD",  
  11.          highlight: "#5AD3D1",  
  12.          label: "Tuesday"  
  13.     },  
  14.     {  
  15.          value: 150,  
  16.          color: "#FDB45C",  
  17.          highlight: "#FFC870",  
  18.          label: "Wednesday"  
  19.     },  
  20.     {  
  21.          value: 20,  
  22.          color: "#949FB1",  
  23.          highlight: "#A8B3C5",  
  24.          label: "Saturday"  
  25.     },  
  26.     {  
  27.          value: 400,  
  28.          color: "#4D5360",  
  29.          highlight: "#616774",  
  30.          label: "Sunday"
