Grouping

10 Mar 202224 minutes to read

You can club or group few points of the series based on groupTo property. For example, if the club value is 11, then the points with value less than 11 is grouped together and will be showed as a single point with label others. The property also takes value in percentage (percentage of total data points value).

Pie Grouping

Broken Slice

You can visualize all points available in club or group points by clicking on the grouped point. For example, if 5 points are grouped together it will be showed as a single slice with label others. If the others slice is clicked, it will explode and break into 5 seperate slices.

Group Mode

Slice can also be grouped based on the number of points by specifying the groupMode to Point. For example, if the group to value is 11, accumulation chart will show 1st 11 points and will group remaining entries in the collection as a single point.

Customization

You can customize the grouped point and its data label using pointRender and textRender event.

                                       textRender="textRender">
