ChartDirector Ver 3.0 (Python Edition)

3D Angle


            

This example illustrates the effects of different 3D angles. ChartDirector allows the 3D depth and angles to be configued using PieChart.set3D and PieChart.set3D2.

This example also demonstrates how to disable sector labels by setting their colors to Transparent using PieChart.setLabelStyle.
