NAME

Tk::ForDummies::Graph::Pie - Extension of Canvas widget to create a pie chart.

DESCRIPTION

Tk::ForDummies::Graph::Pie is an extension of the Canvas widget. It is an easy way to build an interactive pie graph into your Perl Tk widget. The module is written entirely in Perl/Tk.

When the mouse cursor passes over a pieslice or its entry in the legend, the pieslice turn to a color (that you can change) and a balloon box display to help identify it.

SYNOPSIS

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::ForDummies::Graph::Pie;
my $mw = new MainWindow( -title => 'Tk::ForDummies::Graph::Pie example', );

my $GraphDummies = $mw->Pie(
  -title      => 'CPAN mirrors around the World',
  -background => 'white',
  -linewidth  => 2,
)->pack(qw / -fill both -expand 1 /);

my @data = (
  [ 'Europe', 'Asia', 'Africa', 'Oceania', 'Americas' ],
  [ 97,       33,     3,        6,         61 ],
);

$GraphDummies->plot( \@data );

Class: Title
Switch: -title

Title of your graph.

-title => "My pie graph title",

Default : undef

Class: TitleColor
Switch: -titlecolor

Title color of your graph.

-titlecolor => "red",

Default : black

Name: Titlefont
Class: TitleFont

-linewidth => 10,

Default : 1

Name: Colordata
Class: ColorData
Switch: -colordata

This controls the colors of the lines. This should be a reference to an array of color names.

-colordata => [ qw(green pink blue cyan) ],

Default :

[ 'red',     'green',   'blue',    'yellow',  'purple',  'cyan',

The default array contain 24 colors. If you have more than 24 samples, the next line will have the color of the first array case (red).

WIDGET METHODS

The Canvas method creates a widget object. This object supports the configure and cget methods described in Tk::options which can be used to enquire and modify the options described above.

clearchart

$PieGraphDummies->clearchart

This method allows you to clear the chart. The canvas will not be destroy. It's possible to redraw your last chart using the redraw method.

plot

$PieGraphDummies->plot(\@data, ?arg)

Use this method to create your pie graph.

  • \@data

    Fill an array of arrays with the legend values and the values of the datasets (\@data). Make sure that every array have the same size, otherwise Tk::ForDummies::Graph::Pie will complain and refuse to compile the graph.

    my @data = (
    [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th', '6th', '7th', '8th', '9th' ],
    [ 1,     2,     52,    6,     3,     17.5,  1,     43,    10 ]
);

    @data have to contain two arrays, the legend values and the values of the datasets.

    If you don't have a value for a point in a dataset, you can use undef, and the point will be skipped.

    [ 1,     undef,     5,     6,     3,     1.5,   undef,     3,     4 ]

  • -substitutionvalue => real number,

    If you have a missing value in a dataset, it will be replaced by a constant value.

    Default : 0

    my @data = (
     [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th', '6th', '7th', '8th', '9th' ],
     [ 1,     "--",     5,     6,     3,     1.5,   1,     3,     4 ],
);
$PieGraphDummies->plot( \@data,
  -substitutionvalue => '12',
);
 # mistake, -- and NA will be replace by 12

    -substitutionvalue have to be a real number (ex : 12, .25, 02.25, 5.2e+11, etc ...)

redraw

Redraw the chart.

If you have used clearchart for any reason, it is possible to redraw the chart. Tk::ForDummies::Graph::Pie supports the configure and cget methods described in the Tk::options manpage. If you use configure method to change a widget specific option, the modification will not be display. if the chart was already displayed and if you not resize the widget, call redraw method to resolv the bug.

...
$fenetre->Button(-text => "Change title", -command => sub { 
  $PieGraphDummies->configure(-title => "other title"); 
  } 
)->pack;
...
# title will be changed but not displayed if you not resize the widget.
 
...
$fenetre->Button(-text => "Change title", -command => sub { 
  $PieGraphDummies->configure(-title => "other title"); 
  $PieGraphDummies->redraw; 
  } 
)->pack;
...
# OK, title will be changed and displayed without resize the widget.

zoom

zoom the chart (vertical and horizontal zoom).

$PieGraphDummies->zoom($zoom);

$zoom must be an integer great than 0. Ex : 300*300 size $PieGraphDummies->zoom(50); # size divide by 2 => 150*150 ... $PieGraphDummies->zoom(200); # size multiplie by 2 => 600*600 ... $PieGraphDummies->zoom(120); # 20% add in each axis => 360*360 ... $PieGraphDummies->zoom(100); # original resize 300*300.

zoomx

Horizontal zoom.

# original canvas size 300*300
$PieGraphDummies->zoomx(50); # new size : 150*300
...
$PieGraphDummies->zoom(100); # new size : 300*300

zoomy

Vertical zoom.

# original canvas size 300*300
$PieGraphDummies->zoomy(50); # new size : 300*150
...
$PieGraphDummies->zoom(100); # new size : 300*300
