Attributes

Name Type Supports EL? Description
id java.lang.String no Specifies the identifier for the component
fillColor java.lang.String yes

Specifies the color of the fill for the pie frame. Enter values in RGB hexadecimal. This color property takes 6 or 8 digit hex as input. When 8 digit hex is used, the first 2 digits represent transparency, otherwise the color is opaque.
borderColor java.lang.String yes Specifies the color of the border for the graph pie frame. Enter values in RGB hexadecimal. This color property takes 6 or 8 digit hex as input. When 8 digit hex is used, the first 2 digits represent transparency, otherwise the color is opaque.
borderTransparent boolean yes Indicates whether the border of the graph pie frame is transparent. Valid values are:
  • true - (Default) If the border of the graph pie frame is transparent.
  • false - If the border of the graph pie frame is visible.

Note: When an attribute or an object is transparent, it is not visible, but you can select it.
fillTransparent boolean yes Indicates whether the fill of the pie frame is transparent. Usually the graphPlotArea and the graphPieFrame have the same transparency. Valid values are:
  • true - (Default) If the graph pie frame is transparent.
  • false - If the graph pie frame is visible.

Note: When an attribute or an object is transparent, it is not visible, but you can select it.
rendered boolean yes Indicates whether the pie frame of the graph is to be rendered. Valid values are:
  • true - (Default) If the graph pie frame is rendered.
  • false - If the graph pie frame is not rendered.

Note: Although the pie frame is rendered by default, the fill and border are both transparent. Therefore, users need to modify the setting of the color and transparency of the fill and border to make the pie frame visible.

Note: If the pie frame is not rendered, the pie will not show up.
