How to create a 3D pie graph


Summary
This topic shows how to create a three-dimensional (3D) pie graph and adjust the graph's properties.

Creating a 3D pie graph

To create a 3D pie graph using the code in this topic, modify the following parameters:
  1. pathToShapeFile—The shapefile path to create the pie series.
  2. seriesFieldName—The numerical field to use for creating the pie series.
  3. pathToOutImage—The output file containing an image of the graph. (See the application programming interface [API] documentation for the appropriate format extension in IDataGraphBase.ExportToFile.)
