Pie Chart Nested Component Structure

• Jul 31, 2024
• 4 minutes to read

The DxPieChart component can include multiple sub-elements, such as a series, title, legend, or annotation. To display sub-elements on the chart plane, add the corresponding nested components to chart markup. You should declare nested components at appropriate nesting levels to render the chart component correctly.

This topic contains detailed information about available nesting levels and components permitted at each level.
