Pie Chart

To render a pie series, use the series Type as Pie.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .ExplodeIndex(0).Add();
            })
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4  },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Opera", yValue = 11 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Android", yValue = 12 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
        }

Radius Customization

By default, radius of the pie series will be 80% of the size (minimum of chart width and height). You can customize this using Radius property of the series.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .Radius("50%")
                      .ExplodeIndex(0).Add();
            })
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4  },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Opera", yValue = 11 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Android", yValue = 12 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
        }

Pie Center

The center position of the pie can be changed by Center X and Center Y. By default, center value of the pie series x and y is 50%. You can customize this using Center property of the series.

@{
        var piecenter = new
        {
            x = "60%",
            y = "60%"
        };

       } 
             @Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataLabel(dl => dl.Visible(true).Name("text").Position(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationLabelPosition.Inside).Font(ft => ft.FontWeight("600")))
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .Radius("70%")
                      .DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).Add();
            })
            .Center(piecenter)
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .EnableAnimation(false)
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false))
            .Tooltip(tp => tp.Enable(true)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieData { xValue =  "Chrome", yValue = 37, text = "37%" },
                new PieData { xValue =  "UC Browser", yValue = 17, text = "17%" },
                new PieData { xValue =  "iPhone", yValue = 19, text = "19%" },
                new PieData { xValue =  "Others", yValue = 4, text = "4%" },
                new PieData { xValue =  "Opera", yValue = 11, text = "11%" },
                new PieData { xValue =  "Android", yValue = 12, text = "12%" },   

            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
            public string text;
            
        }

Various Radius Pie Chart

You can use radius mapping to render the slice with different Radius pie and also use Border , fill properties to customize the point. dataLabel is used to represent individual data and its value.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container")
    .Series(sr =>
    {
    sr.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
    .XName("xValue")
    .YName("yValue")
    .DataLabel(dl => dl.Visible(true).Name("xValue").Position(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationLabelPosition.Outside))
    .InnerRadius("20%")
    .Radius("r")
    .DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).Add();
    })
    .EnableSmartLabels(true)
    .EnableAnimation(true)
    .Tooltip(tp => tp.Enable(true).Format("${point.x} <br />Composition: <b>${point.y}</b>"))
    .LegendSettings(leg => leg.Visible(true)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Argentina", yValue = 505370, r = "100"},
                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Belgium",    yValue = 551500, r = "118.7"},
                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Cuba",  yValue = 312685 , r = "124.6"},
                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Dominican Republic", yValue = 350000 , r = "137.5"},
                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Egypt", yValue = 301000 , r = "150.8"},
                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Kazakhstan", yValue = 300000, r = "155.5"},
                new PieRadiusChartData { xValue = "Somalia",  yValue = 357022, r = "160.6"}  

            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
            public string r;
            
        }

Doughnut Chart

To achieve a doughnut in pie series, customize the InnerRadius property of the series. By setting value greater than 0%, a doughnut will appear. The InnerRadius property takes value from 0% to 100% of the pie radius.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .InnerRadius("40%")
                      .ExplodeIndex(0).Add();
            })
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4  },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Opera", yValue = 11 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Android", yValue = 12 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
        }

Start and End angles

You can customize the start and end angle of the pie series using the StartAngle and EndAngle properties. The default value of StartAngle is 0 degree, and EndAngle is 360 degrees. By customizing this, you can achieve a semi pie series.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .StartAngle(90)
                      .EndAngle(270).Add();
            })
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4  },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Opera", yValue = 11 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Android", yValue = 12 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
        }

Color & Text Mapping

The fill color and the text in the data source can be mapped to the chart using PointColorMapping in series and Name in datalabel respectively.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .PointColorMapping("fill")
                      .DataLabel(ViewBag.datalabel).Add();
            })
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37, text = "37%", fill="#498fff"},
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17, text = "17%", fill="#ffa060"},
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19, text = "19%", fill="#ff68b6"},
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4 , text = "4%", fill="#81e2a1"},
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
        }

Border radius

You can create rounded corners for each slice by using the BorderRadius option, which gives the chart a modern and polished appearance.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
{
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
        .XName("X")
        .YName("Y")
        .BorderRadius(8)
        .DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
        .Add();
}).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
{
    List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
    {
        new PieChartData { X = "Jan", Y = 3 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Feb", Y = 3.5 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Mar", Y = 7 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Apr", Y = 13.5 },
        new PieChartData { X = "May", Y = 19 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Jun", Y = 23.5 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Jul", Y = 26 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Aug", Y = 25 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Sep", Y = 21 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Oct", Y = 15 }
    };
    ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
    return View();
}
public class PieChartData
{
    public string X;
    public double Y;
}

Customization

Individual points can be customized using the PointRender event.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .Add();
            })
            .EnableSmartLabels(true)
            .PointRender("pointRender")
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()

 <script>
            var pointRender = function (args) {
                if ((args.point.xValue as string).indexOf('iPhone') > -1) {
                    args.fill = '#f4bc42';
                     }
                       else {
                     args.fill = '#597cf9';
                     }
            };
</script>
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4  },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Opera", yValue = 11 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Android", yValue = 12 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
        }

Patterns

You can apply different patterns to the pie slices using the ApplyPattern property in the series and the PointRender event.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Series(series =>
{
    series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
        .XName("X")
        .YName("Y")
        .ApplyPattern(true)
        .DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
        .Add();
}).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
{
    List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
    {
        new PieChartData { X = "Jan", Y = 3 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Feb", Y = 3.5 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Mar", Y = 7 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Apr", Y = 13.5 },
        new PieChartData { X = "May", Y = 19 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Jun", Y = 23.5 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Jul", Y = 26 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Aug", Y = 25 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Sep", Y = 21 },
        new PieChartData { X = "Oct", Y = 15 }
    };
    ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
    return View();
}
public class PieChartData
{
    public string X;
    public double Y;
}

Hide pie or doughnut border

By default, the border will appear in the pie/doughnut chart while mouse hover on the chart. You can disable the the border by setting EnableBorderOnMouseMove property is false.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").EnableBorderOnMouseMove(false).Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .Add();
            })
            
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
            .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19 },

Color Palette

You can customize the color the of the point using the Palettes property.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").EnableBorderOnMouseMove(false).Series(series =>
            {
                series.DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource)
                      .XName("xValue")
                      .YName("yValue")
                      .Name("Browser")
                      .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                      .palettes("['teal', 'skyblue', 'green', 'red']")
                      .Add();
            })
            
            .Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37 },
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17 },

Multi-level pie chart

You can achieve a multi-level drill down in pie and doughnut charts using PointClick event. If user clicks any point in the chart, that corresponding data will be shown in the next level and so on based on point clicked.

You can also achieve drill-up (back to the initial state) by using ChartMouseClick event. In below sample, you can drill-up by clicking back button in the center of the char
