Drilling down the pie chart


Just as we drilled down column charts, pie charts can also be drilled down to show a particular category in more detail.

In the following code, taken from the previous example, we drill down the generic Windows category to show a different version of Windows being used:

series: [{
  name: 'Operating Systems',
  data: [
    {
      name: 'Windows',
      y: 88.19,
      drilldown: 'windows-versions'
    },
    ['MacOSX', 9.22],
    ['Linux', 1.58],
    ['Others', 1.01]
  ]
}],
drilldown: {
  series: [{
    name: 'Windows versions',
    id: 'windows-versions',
    data: [
      ['Win 7', 55.03],
      ['Win XP', 15.83],
      ['Win Vista', 3.59],
      ['Win 8', 7.56],
      ['Win 8.1', 6.18]
    ]
  }]
}

Be sure to include the Highcharts-4.x.x/js/modules/drilldown.js file before the highcharts.js file, as shown in the following code:

<script src="/js/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="/js/modules/drilldown.js"></script>
