Overview

SYNOPSIS

To create a simple Excel file with a Pie chart using WriteExcel:

 #!/usr/bin/ruby -w

 require 'writeexcel'

 workbook  = WriteExcel.new('chart.xls')
 worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet

 chart     = workbook.add_chart(:type => 'Chart::Pie')

 # Configure the chart.
 chart.add_series(
   :categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
   :values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7'
)

 # Add the worksheet data the chart refers to.
 data = [
     [ 'Category', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
     [ 'Value',    1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ]
 ]

 worksheet.write('A1', data)

 workbook.close

DESCRIPTION

This module implements Pie charts for WriteExcel. The chart object is created via the Workbook add_chart() method:

chart = workbook.add_chart(:type => 'Chart::Pie')

Once the object is created it can be configured via the following methods that are common to all chart classes:

chart.add_series
chart.set_title

These methods are explained in detail in Chart section of WriteExcel. Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.

Pie Chart Methods

There aren’t currently any pie chart specific methods. See the TODO section of Chart section in WriteExcel.

A Pie chart doesn’t have an X or Y axis so the following common chart methods are ignored.

chart.set_x_axis
chart.set_y_axis

EXAMPLE

Here is a complete example that demonstrates most of the available features when creating a chart.

 #!/usr/bin/ruby -w

 require 'writeexcel'

 workbook  = WriteExcel.new('chart_pie.xls')
 worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet
 bold      = workbook.add_format(:bold => 1)

 # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
 headings = [ 'Category', 'Values' ]
 data = [
     [ 'Apple', 'Cherry', 'Pecan' ],
     [ 60,       30,       10     ],
 ]

 worksheet.write('A1', headings, bold)
 worksheet.write('A2', data)

 # Create a new chart object. In this case an embedded chart.
 chart = workbook.add_chart(:type => 'Chart::Pie', :embedded => 1)

 # Configure the series.
 chart.add_series(
   :name       => 'Pie sales data',
   :categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4',
   :values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4',
)

 # Add a title.
 chart.set_title(:name => 'Popular Pie Types')

 # Insert the chart into the worksheet (with an offset).
 worksheet.insert_chart('C2', chart, 25, 10)

 workbook.close

Constructor Details

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Pie

new()

# File 'lib/writeexcel/charts/pie.rb', line 126

def initialize(*args)   # :nodoc:
  super
  @vary_data_color = 1
end

Instance Method Details

#store_axisparent_stream ⇒ Object

_store_axisparent_stream(). Overridden.

Write the AXISPARENT chart substream.

A Pie chart has no X or Y axis so we override this method to remove them.

# File 'lib/writeexcel/charts/pie.rb', line 157

def store_axisparent_stream   # :nodoc:
  store_axisparent(*@config[:axisparent])

  store_begin
  store_pos(*@config[:axisparent_pos])

  store_chartformat_stream
  store_end
end

#store_chart_type ⇒ Object

_store_chart_type()

Implementation of the abstract method from the specific chart class.

Write the Pie chart BIFF record.

# File 'lib/writeexcel/charts/pie.rb', line 139

def store_chart_type   # :nodoc:
  record = 0x1019     # Record identifier.
  length = 0x0006     # Number of bytes to follow.
  angle  = 0x0000     # Angle.
  donut  = 0x0000     # Donut hole size.
  grbit  = 0x0002     # Option flags.

  store_simple(record, length, angle, donut, grbit)
end
