Basic Pie
The [ObservableObject]
, [ObservableProperty]
and [ICommand]
attributes come from the
CommunityToolkit.Mvvm package, you can read more about it
here.
This web site wraps every sample using a ContentPage
instance, but LiveCharts controls can be used inside any container.

// but
// you could convert any IEnumerable to a pie series collection
// so it is easier to convert an array or collection of data to a pie chart.
var data = new double[] { 2, 4, 1, 4, 3 };
// Series = data.AsLiveChartsPieSeries(); this could be enough in some cases // mark
// but you can customize the series properties using the following overload: // mark
Series = data.AsLiveChartsPieSeries((value, series) =>
{
// here you can configure the series assigned to each value.
series.Name = $"Series for value {value}";
series.DataLabelsPaint = new SolidColorPaint(new SKColor(30, 30, 30));
series.DataLabelsPosition = LiveChartsCore.Measure.PolarLabelsPosition.Outer;
series.DataLabelsFormatter = p => $"Label: {p.Context.DataSource}";
});
// this is an equivalent and more verbose syntax. // mark
// Series = new ISeries[]
// {
// new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 2 }, Name = "Slice 1" },
// new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 4 }, Name = "Slice 2" },
// new PieSeries<double> { Values = new double[] { 1 }, Name = "Slice 3" },
