JFreeChart Exploding a section of Piechart

You can explode a section (Even multiple sections) also, from a pie chart, by using “setExplodePercent” method of PiePlot.

public void setExplodePercent(Comparable key, double percent)

Sets the amount that a pie section should be exploded.

plot.setExplodePercent("2006-2007", 0.2);

Above statement explode section “2006-2007” with 20% explode percent.

  /* Disable outlines */
  plot.setOutlineVisible(true);

  /* Set custom labels for section */
  plot.setLabelGenerator(new StandardPieSectionLabelGenerator("{0} ({2})"));

  /* Set custom label for legend */
  plot.setLegendLabelGenerator(new StandardPieSectionLabelGenerator(
    "{0} ({2})"));

  /* Explode a section */
  plot.setExplodePercent("2006-2007", 0.2);

  /* create and display chart on frame */
  ChartFrame frame = new ChartFrame("JFreeChart Demo", chart);
