The Pie Chart is represented by the Pie3DSeriesView object, which belongs to Pie, Doughnut and Funnel Series Views. This view is useful when it's necessary to compare the percentage values of different point arguments in the same series, and to illustrate these values as easy to understand pie slices. In addition, the 3D look makes it possible to rotate a chart to position pie slices in an attractive and easy-to-understand way.
A Pie chart is shown in the image below.
The table below lists the main characteristics of this chart type.
| Feature |
Value |
|---|---|
| Series View type | Pie3DSeriesView |
| Diagram type | SimpleDiagram3D |
| Number of arguments per series point | 1 |
| Number of values per series point | 1 |

| For information on which chart types can be combined with the Pie Chart, refer to the Combining Different Series Views document. |
The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the Pie3DSeriesView type, set its general properties, and add this chart to a form at runtime. Before proceeding with this example, first create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio, and include all necessary assemblies to the References list of your project.
使用ChartControl創建餅圖，使用序列集類型為Pie3DSeriesView，設置通用屬性，並添加圖表到運行時。在運行例子之前，首先新建窗體應用程序，並添加需要的程序集到引用列表。
Then, add the following code to the Form.Load event handler.添加如下代碼到Form.Load事件處理中
|

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms; using DevExpress.XtraCharts; // ... private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Create an empty chart. ChartControl PieChart3D = new ChartControl(); // Create a pie series. Series series1 = new Series("Pie Series 1", ViewType.Pie3D); // Populate the series with points. series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Russia", 17.0752)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Canada", 9.98467)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("USA", 9.63142)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("China", 9.59696)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Brazil", 8.511965)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Australia", 7.68685)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("India", 3.28759)); series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint("Others", 81.2)); // Add the series to the chart. PieChart3D.Series.Add(series1); // Adjust the value numeric options of the series. series1.PointOptions.ValueNumericOptions.Format = NumericFormat.Percent; series1.PointOptions.ValueNumericOptions.Precision = 0; // Adjust the view-type-specific options of the series. ((Pie3DSeriesView)series1.View).Depth = 30; ((Pie3DSeriesView)series1.View).ExplodedPoints.Add(series1.Points[0]); ((Pie3DSeriesView)series1.View).ExplodedDistancePercentage = 30; // Access the diagram's options. ((SimpleDiagram3D)PieChart3D.Diagram).RotationType = RotationType.UseAngles; ((SimpleDiagram3D)PieChart3D.Diagram).RotationAngleX = -35; // Add a title to the chart and hide the legend. ChartTitle chartTitle1 = new ChartTitle(); chartTitle1.Text = "3D Pie Chart"; PieChart3D.Titles.Add(chartTitle1); PieChart3D.Legend.Visible = false; // Add the chart to the form. PieChart3D.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; this.Controls.Add(PieChart3D); }
