## Detailed Description

A pie series consists of slices that are defined as QPieSlice objects. The slices can have any values as the QPieSeries object calculates the percentage of a slice compared with the sum of all slices in the series to determine the actual size of the slice in the chart.

Pie size and position on the chart are controlled by using relative values that range from 0.0 to 1.0. These relate to the actual chart rectangle.

By default, the pie is defined as a full pie. A partial pie can be created by setting a starting angle and angle span for the series. A full pie is 360 degrees, where 0 is at 12 a'clock.

See the Charts with Widgets Gallery to learn how to use QPieSeries.

## Property Documentation

### `[read-only]` count : int

This property holds the number of slices in the series.

Access functions:

int | count() const

Notifier signal:

void | countChanged()

### endAngle : qreal

This property holds the ending angle of the pie.

A full pie is 360 degrees, where 0 degrees is at 12 a'clock.

The default value is 360.

Access functions:

qreal | pieEndAngle() const
void | setPieEndAngle(qreal angle)

### holeSize : qreal

This property holds the donut hole size.

The value is relative to the chart rectangle, so that:

- 0.0 is the minimum size (full pie drawn without a hole).
- 1.0 is the maximum size that can fit the chart (the donut has no width).

When setting this property, the size property is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the hole size is not greater than the pie size.

The default value is 0.0.

Access functions:

qreal | holeSize() const
void | setHoleSize(qreal holeSize)

### horizontalPosition : qreal

This property holds the horizontal position of the pie.

The value is relative to the chart rectangle, so that:

- 0.0 is the absolute left.
- 1.0 is the absolute right.

The default value is 0.5 (center).

Access functions:

qreal | horizontalPosition() const
void | setHorizontalPosition(qreal relativePosition)

See also verticalPosition.

### size : qreal

This property holds the pie size.

The value is relative to the chart rectangle, so that:

- 0.0 is the minimum size (pie not drawn).
- 1.0 is the maximum size that can fit the chart.

When setting this property, the holeSize property is adjusted if necessary, to ensure that the hole size is not greater than the pie size.

The default value is 0.7.

Access functions:

qreal | pieSize() const
void | setPieSize(qreal relativeSize)

### startAngle : qreal

This property holds the starting angle of the pie.

A full pie is 360 degrees, where 0 degrees is at 12 a'clock.

The default value is 0.

Access functions:

qreal | pieStartAngle() const
void | setPieStartAngle(qreal startAngle)

### `[read-only]` sum : qreal

This property holds the sum of all slices.

The series keeps track of the sum of all the slices it holds.

Access functions:

qreal | sum() const

Notifier signal:

void | sumChanged()

### verticalPosition : qreal

This property holds the vertical position of the pie.

The value is relative to the chart rectangle, so that:

- 0.0 is the absolute top.
- 1.0 is the absolute bottom.

The default value is 0.5 (center).

Access functions:

qreal | verticalPosition() const
void | setVerticalPosition(qreal relativePosition)

See also horizontalPosition.

## Member Function Documentation

### `[explicit]` QPieSeries::QPieSeries(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a series object that is a child of parent.

### `[virtual noexcept]` QPieSeries::~QPieSeries()

Removes the pie series and its slices.

### `[signal]` void QPieSeries::added(const QList<QPieSlice *> &slices)

This signal is emitted when the slices specified by slices are added to the series.

See also append() and insert().

### bool QPieSeries::append(QPieSlice *slice)

Appends the slice specified by slice to the series. Slice ownership is passed to the series.

Returns `true` if appending succeeds.

### bool QPieSeries::append(const QList<QPieSlice *> &slices)

Appends the array of slices specified by slices to the series. Slice ownership is passed to the series.

Returns `true` if appending succeeds.

### QPieSlice *QPieSeries::append(const QString &label, qreal value)

Appends a single slice with the specified value and label to the series. Slice ownership is passed to the series. Returns null if value is `NaN`, `Inf`, or `-Inf` and adds nothing to the series.

### void QPieSeries::clear()

Clears all slices from the series.

### `[signal]` void QPieSeries::clicked(QPieSlice *slice)

This signal is emitted when the slice specified by slice is clicked.

See also QPieSlice::clicked().

### int QPieSeries::count() const

Returns the number of the slices in this series.

Note: Getter function for property count.

### `[signal]` void QPieSeries::countChanged()

This signal is emitted when the slice count changes.

Note: Notifier signal for property count.

See also count.

### `[signal]` void QPieSeries::doubleClicked(QPieSlice *slice)

This signal is emitted when the slice specified by slice is double-clicked.

See also QPieSlice::doubleClicked().

### `[signal]` void QPieSeries::hovered(QPieSlice *slice, bool state)

This signal is emitted when a mouse is hovered over the slice specified by slice. When the mouse moves over the slice, state turns `true`, and when the mouse moves away again, it turns `false`.

See also QPieSlice::hovered().

### bool QPieSeries::insert(int index, QPieSlice *slice)

Inserts the slice specified by slice to the series before the slice at the position specified by index. Slice ownership is passed to the series.

Returns `true` if inserting succeeds.

### bool QPieSeries::isEmpty() const

### qreal QPieSeries::pieEndAngle() const

Returns the end angle of the pie.

A full pie is 360 degrees, where 0 degrees is at 12 a'clock.

### `[signal]` void QPieSeries::pressed(QPieSlice *slice)

### bool QPieSeries::remove(QPieSlice *slice)

Removes a single slice, specified by slice, from the series and deletes it permanently.
