Pie Chart component

Datatype: "pie"

Pie and donut charts from a single data series, with slice labels, percentages and a legend — proportions at a glance.

Pie Chart examples

Real renders of the pie chart — each one is the same component with different property values, and the API payload below each preview reproduces it exactly.

Traffic sources breakdown

Visitor share by acquisition channel, percent-labeled per slice.

API overrides for this example
{
  "share.data": [
    46,
    27,
    17,
    10
  ],
  "share.labels": [
    "Organic",
    "Direct",
    "Social",
    "Referral"
  ],
  "share.colors": [
    "#6366F1",
    "#0EA5E9",
    "#F59E0B",
    "#94A3B8"
  ]
}

Monthly budget split

A household budget by category with raw dollar amounts on the slices.

API overrides for this example
{
  "share.data": [
    1200,
    650,
    400,
    350
  ],
  "share.labels": [
    "Rent",
    "Food",
    "Transport",
    "Other"
  ],
  "share.colors": [
    "#10B981",
    "#F59E0B",
    "#6366F1",
    "#94A3B8"
  ],
  "share.labelType": "value"
}

All pie chart styles

Every style rendered live — each is just a different set of property values on the same component, and each has its own page with a dedicated preview, use cases and API example.

DonutA pie with a hole — leaves room for a centered metric.
Raw valuesSlice labels show the underlying numbers instead of percentages.
LegendSlice names in a side legend — for labels that will not fit on the pie.

Use cases

What developers typically build with the pie chart component.

  • Market or traffic share visuals in automated reports
  • Budget and spend breakdown images for finance emails
  • Poll and survey result cards for social media
  • Portfolio allocation snapshots

Use it dynamically via the API

Update slice values with '<key>.data' (or just '<key>') and names with '<key>.labels'; variant and colors are overridable too.

Full API request with the sample design's current values — the playground above sends only the properties you change
curl --location 'https://render.imejis.io/v1/{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}' \
--header 'dma-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "share.variant": "pie",
    "share.data": [
        40,
        30,
        20,
        10
    ],
    "share.labels": [
        "North",
        "South",
        "East",
        "West"
    ],
    "share.colors": [],
    "share.showValues": true,
    "share.labelType": "percent",
    "share.showLegend": true,
    "share.legendPosition": "bottom",
    "share.opacity": 1
}'

Only send the properties you want to change — everything else keeps its design value. See the API documentation for all languages.

Property reference

Every property the pie chart component accepts — in the editor, in design JSON, and as API overrides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — '<key>.data' sets the slice values and '<key>.labels' the names; colors and the pie/donut variant are overridable too.

Set variant to 'donut' and tune innerRadius (a fraction of the pie radius) to size the hole — leaving room for a centered metric.

Yes — labelType switches slice labels between 'percent' and 'value', and showValues toggles the labels entirely.

Pass a colors array to map your palette onto the slices in order; omit it to fall back to the built-in palette.
