Errors when using negative values in pie-chart
This error occurs if you specify a negative number that is greater in modulus than the sum of all positive values of other parts in pie-chart.
For example:
'dataProvider' : [
{
'title': 'category 1',
'value': -35
},
{
'title': 'category 2',
'value': 10
},
{
'title': 'category 3',
'value': 20
}
]
Pie-chart with such this data will not be displayed correctly, because: 35 > ( 10+20 )
If you correct value -35 in example on -30 or less, the data will be displayed correctly, because: 30 <= ( 10+20 )
Negative values on a Pie chart do not make sense, hence all the unpredictable anomalies. How you depict a negative part of something?
I strongly suggest you include only absolute values.
You can include any additional values and reference to them in balloonText
via meta code if you need to show a negative value. I.e.:
'dataProvider' : [
{
'title': 'category 1',
'value': -35,
'realValue': -35
},
{
'title': 'category 2',
'value': 10,
'realValue': 10
},
{
'title': 'category 3',
'value': 20,
'realValue': 10
}
]
I hope that makes sense.
