MATLAB Function Reference

pie3

Three-dimensional pie chart

Syntax

• pie3(X)
  pie3(X,explode)
  h = pie3(...)
  

Description

pie3(X) draws a three-dimensional pie chart using the data in X. Each element in X is represented as a slice in the pie chart.

pie3(X,explode) specifies whether to offset a slice from the center of the pie chart. X(i,j) is offset from the center of the pie chart if explode(i,j) is nonzero. explode must be the same size as X.

h = pie(...) returns a vector of handles to patch, surface, and text graphics objects.

Remarks

The values in X are normalized via X/sum(X) to determine the area of each slice of the pie. If sum(X)1, the values in X directly specify the area of the pie slices. MATLAB draws only a partial pie if sum(X)<1.

Examples

Offset a slice in the pie chart by setting the corresponding explode element to 1:

• x = [1 3 0.5 2.5 2]
  explode = [0 1 0 0 0]
  pie3(x,explode)
  colormap hsv
