type: 'line',
fill: "#E94649",
// ...
}],
// ...
});

Split Mode and Split Value
The points to be displayed in the second pie is decided based on the splitMode and splitValue property.SplitMode property takes the following values.
- Position – Have to split the data points based on its position
- Value – Have to split the data points based on its Y value
- Percentage – Have to split the points based on the percentage value
- Indexes – The data points with the specified indexes are split separately
By default, the splitMode is set to Value.
$("#container").ejChart(
{ //..
series: [{
// ..

});The following screenshot represents the pie of pie series with pieOfPieCoefficient as 1
Customizing the Gap
The distance between the two pies in the pie of pie chart can be controlled by using the gapWidth property. The default value is 50.
$("#container").ejChart(
{ //..

// ..
gapWidth:150
}] //..
});
Render vertical Chart
The isTransposed property is used for rendering the chart vertically.
