Pie Chart

Pie Chart

Uses the arc() function to generate a pie chart from the data stored in an array.


int[] angles = { 30, 10, 45, 35, 60, 38, 75, 67 };

void setup() {
  size(640, 360);
  noStroke();
  noLoop();  // Run once and stop
}

void draw() {
  background(100);
  pieChart(300, angles);
}

void pieChart(float diameter, int[] data) {
  float lastAngle = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    float gray = map(i, 0, data.length, 0, 255);
    fill(gray);
    arc(width/2, height/2, diameter, diameter, lastAngle, lastAngle+radians(data[i]));
    lastAngle += radians(data[i]);
  }
}

Functions Used

fill()

Sets the color used to fill shapes

Learn More
size()

Defines the dimension of the display window width and height in units of pixels

Learn More
setup()

The setup() function is run once, when the program starts

Learn More
map()

Re-maps a number from one range to another

Learn More
noLoop()

Stops Processing from continuously executing the code within draw()

Learn More
draw()

Called directly after setup(), the draw() function continuously executes the lines of code contained inside its block until the program is stopped or noLoop() is called

Learn More
radians()

Converts a degree measurement to its corresponding value in radians

Learn More
noStroke()

Disables drawing the stroke (outline)

Learn More
arc()

Draws an arc to the screen

Learn More
background()

The background() function sets the color used for the background of the Processing window
