Java Program to Display a Pie Chart using Frame

This is a Java Program to Display a Pie Chart Using a Frame

Problem Description

We have to write a program in Java such that it displays a pie chart for a given data

Expected Input and Output

For displaying a pie chart, we can have the following set of input and output.

To View the Pie Chart :

When the program is executed,
it is expected that the frame contains a pie chart.

Problem Solution

1. Create an array of data type int to store the value of each data.
2. Create an array of data type Color to store the desired color in the pie chart for the respective data value.
3. Get the sum of all data values.
4. For each data value, calculate the percentage share in the pie chart.
5. Draw an arc for each data value.
6. Fill the arc with the respective color.

Program/Source Code

Here is source code of the Java Program to create a pie chart. The program is successfully compiled and tested using javac compiler on Fedora 30. The program output is also shown below.

	    int arc_angle = (int)(data_values[i]*360 / total);

	    g.drawArc(100,100,300,300,start_angle,arc_angle);

```
	    g.setColor(data_clr[i]);
```

	    g.fillArc(100,100,300,300,start_angle,arc_angle);

```
	    start_angle+=arc_angle;
```
```
	}
```
```
    }
```
```

Program Explanation

1. Create arrays to store the data values and color for the respective data.
2. Get the sum of all data values.
3. Get the share of each data in the pie chart usin and draw an arc from the last position of arc to the calculated position.
4. Change the color of arc using setColor method.
5. Fill the arc using fillArc method.
