Add Pie chart support
It will be very useful and gives ability to use your for more use cases.
I see some difficulties:
-
Fundamentals. The base of Yagr is uPlot, which certainly allows to use non-timeseries datasets (e.g. ordinal axes), but whole uPlot rendering system depends on axis-based plots, and it's the crucial issue with the pie chart. It's not possible to use uplot to render pie charts, which will bring the necessity to implement pie canvas-rendering into Yagr. And as I know uPlot don't considering to adding pie charts
-
Typings. Whole type system should be refactored as of axis based plots are a basically the data matrix, but pie is a flat list of values (as all aggregated diagrams). This change will affect about every piece of code
-
Motivation. The idea of Yagr is to provide fast and convenient library for timeseries charts rendering. It seems that it's very hard to overload SVG-based pie chart.
So, the resume: adding pie/donut (and other non axis-based diagrams) as a simple feature is impossible for current library code, it will require a massive refactoring and rethinking the whole approach and goals of Yagr. I can't decide it's on my own cuz it will require a lot of effort to put the Yagr on more generic rails and move away from the idea of being just a uPlot highlevel wrapper. If it will be done, it certainly will be a major update
