Slice Animations

You need to animate the slices of your pie charts so that they represent values in the database. Each pie chart can contain up to 10 slices.

Each slice has a group of animations:

Example:

The following pie chart has these animations in place:

  • KeyPos—1. The Key is positioned at the right of the pie chart.
  • KeyStyle—4. The Key shows the label and percentage for each slice.
  • Slice01:
    • Alpha—255. (This slice is visible i.e. has 0% transparency).
    • Colour—RGB( 0, 0, 150 ). The slice is set to be dark blue.
    • Label—'Pipeline Alarms'. The label for the slice shows 'Pipeline Alarms'.
    • Value—"Monitor Point 1.CurrentValue". The size of the slice is based on the current value of the Monitor Point 1 database point.
  • Slice02:
    • Alpha—0. (This slice is invisible, that is, has 100% transparency).
    • Colour—RGB( 200, 200, 150 ). The slice is set to a pale shade of yellow/brown but it is not visible as the Alpha setting is 0.
    • Label—'Pump Alarms'. The label for the slice shows 'Pump Alarms'.
    • Value—"Monitor Point 2.CurrentValue". The size of the slice is based on the current value of the Monitor Point 2 database point.

If you want to remove a slice from a pie chart, you should set the value of the animation for the slice to 0 before you clear it (remove the slice). If the slice animation is not set to 0, the pie chart will continue to show the slice, even after you have cleared the animation for the slice. This is because the pie chart will maintain the previous value of the slice.
