Highcharts Gradient Pie Chart
The following example demonstrates a gradient pie chart.
We have already learned the basic configuration syntax of Highcharts in previous chapters. Now, let's look at other configurations.
Configuration
Colors Configuration
Use the Highcharts.getOptions().colors property to configure colors.
// Color filling
Highcharts.getOptions().colors = Highcharts.map(Highcharts.getOptions().colors, function (color) {
return {
radialGradient: { cx: 0.5, cy: 0.3, r: 0.7 },
stops: [
[0, color],
[1, Highcharts.Color(color).brighten(-0.3).get('rgb')] // darken
]
};
});
