We will continue to discuss the new features that have become available in the Stimulsoft Reports and Dashboards 2023.2 version. Today, we will focus on expanding the capabilities of analytics and data visualization for the Doughnut chart.
Here's an example of what it looks like:
The chart indicator consists of two components: the value and its title. The value can either be a primitive value or an expression, where the result of the expression becomes the value of the indicator. In other words, within an expression, you can specify a data column, a variable, or even the sum of multiple columns.
The indicator title is an additional option that allows you to provide a caption, label, or note for the indicator value. You can also specify a primitive value or expression as the title.
By utilizing the properties within this group, you can specify the title text and its color, the indicator value and its color. Additionally, if there is no need to display the chart indicator, you can set the Visibility property to false.
