each "slice" of the pie as a percentage of the total. This article demonstrates
how to do this.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following example illustrates how to accomplish this task:
1. Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
default.
2. From the Project menu, choose Components, check Microsoft Chart Control, and
click OK.
3. Add an instance of the MSChart control to Form1.
4. Add the following code to Form1:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With MSChart1
.chartType = VtChChartType2dPie
For i = 1 To 3
.Row = 1
.Column = i
.Data = i * 100
Next
With .DataGrid
.RowLabelCount = 1
.ColumnCount = 3
.RowCount = 1
For i = 1 To .ColumnCount
.ColumnLabel(i, 1) = "Column " & i
Next i
.RowLabel(1, 1) = "Data as a Percentage"
End With
For i = 1 To .Plot.SeriesCollection.Count
With .Plot.SeriesCollection(i).DataPoints(-1).DataPointLabel
.LocationType = VtChLabelLocationTypeOutside
.Component = VtChLabelComponentPercent
.PercentFormat = "0%"
.VtFont.Size = 10
End With
Next i
End With
End Sub
5. Run the project.
