Elliptical Pie-Chart Setting?

Hello!

Is there a setting in the Pie Chart mechanism to allow me to 'tilt' the pie chart back a little more?  A standard pie chart seems to have about 15-20 degrees tilt (slant away from the pag/screen plane), but I'd really like to push it back a little more and make it appear more elliptical and less circular.

  • What I get (see Pie_Slanted_NOT.jpg)

Thank you!

Hello Bill,

You can change the Elevation property of the pie chart projection:


   NPieChart chart = new NPieChart();
   chart.Enable3D = true;
   nChartControl1.Charts.Clear();
   nChartControl1.Panels.Add(chart);

   chart.Projection.Type = ProjectionType.Perspective;
   chart.Projection.Rotation = 0;
   chart.Projection.Elevation = -60;


Values around -60 produce similar results to the image that you sent us.

Sweeeeeeet!!  That totally did the trick (with some additional tweaking, due to other customization).

Thank you VERY much!

Thought I'd upload a quick snapshot of the new results.  I am developing an Intranet website for the Data Operations Center department in DirecTV, so getting these pie charts 'laid over' was pretty critical to the look-n-feel of the chart they were/are using in Excel.  See attached image (PieTitled.jpg) for a visual;
