Hi

I need to use 3D pie charts in my reports. Iam using BIRT 2.0 RC. I read
in the documentation that chart API supports 3D attribute for BAR , LINE
and AREA charts. Does the API support the 3D attribute for pie charts? If
it doesnt, is there other means to accomplish this.

Thanks
Chandrika

Hi,

Pie Chart support 2D with depth, which has a 3D look, but is not "real" 3D
in a sense where there is no lighting computations or Z-sorting done. Please
take a look at some 2D with depth pie charts, I think it should be enough
for what you need. Otherwise please let me know exactly what you're looking
for.

I'm attaching one 2D with depth Pie Chart here for you, so you can see.

Thanks,

David Michonneau

Hi David,

Thanks David.
We have our existing reports that has lot of 3D pie charts. I am
converting these to BIRT reports. I have tried the 2D with depth, which
really looks nice. But we still need to use the 3D pie charts.

Any suggestion how to do this.

Thanks
Chandrika

Hi Chandrika,

Can you post a screenshot of how your 3D pie chart look? How is it different
from the 2d with depth pie chart?

Thanks,

David

For instance you can also change the pie ratio and series depth to give more
3D effect:

Is that what are you're trying to do?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Is there a way to change only the series depth color? I want to make it
gray for all. Changing the pie ratio and series depth did make it look
closer to the 3D one.

Thanks
Chandrika

Yes, you can force the depth color to be grey by using gradients in your
palette instead of plain colors. I sent you a screenshot at your email
address.

Thanks,

David
