# Flutter Circular Chart
A library for creating animated circular chart widgets with Flutter, inspired by [Zero to One with Flutter](https://medium.com/dartlang/zero-to-one-with-flutter-43b13fd7b354).
## Overview
Create easily animated pie charts and radial charts by providing them with data objects they can plot into charts and animate between.

## Installation
Install the latest version [from pub](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/flutter_circular_chart#-installing-tab-).
## Getting Started
Import the package:
```dart
import 'package:flutter_circular_chart/flutter_circular_chart.dart';
```
Create a [GlobalKey](https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/GlobalKey-class.html) to be able to access the chart and update its data:
```dart
final GlobalKey<AnimatedCircularChartState> _chartKey = new GlobalKey<AnimatedCircularChartState>();
```
Create chart data entry objects:
```dart
List<CircularStackEntry> data = <CircularStackEntry>[
new CircularStackEntry(
<CircularSegmentEntry>[
new CircularSegmentEntry(500.0, Colors.red[200], rankKey: 'Q1'),
new CircularSegmentEntry(1000.0, Colors.green[200], rankKey: 'Q2'),
new CircularSegmentEntry(2000.0, Colors.blue[200], rankKey: 'Q3'),
new CircularSegmentEntry(1000.0, Colors.yellow[200], rankKey: 'Q4'),
],
rankKey: 'Quarterly Profits',
),
];
```
Create an `AnimatedCircularChart`, passing it the `_chartKey` and initial `data`:
```dart
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new AnimatedCircularChart(
key: _chartKey,
size: const Size(300.0, 300.0),
initialChartData: data,
chartType: CircularChartType.Pie,
);
}
```
Call `updateData` to animate the chart:
```dart
void _cycleSamples() {
List<CircularStackEntry> nextData = <CircularStackEntry>[
new CircularStackEntry(
<CircularSegmentEntry>[
new CircularSegmentEntry(1500.0, Colors.red[200], rankKey: 'Q1'),
new CircularSegmentEntry(750.0, Colors.green[200], rankKey: 'Q2'),
new CircularSegmentEntry(2000.0, Colors.blue[200], rankKey: 'Q3'),
new CircularSegmentEntry(1000.0, Colors.yellow[200], rankKey: 'Q4'),
],
rankKey: 'Quarterly Profits',
),
];
setState(() {
_chartKey.currentState.updateData(nextData);
});
}
```
## Details
### Chart data entries:
Charts expect a list of `CircularStackEntry` objects containing the data they need to be drawn.
Each `CircularStackEntry` corresponds to a complete circle in the chart. For radial charts that is one of the rings, for pie charts it is the whole pie.
Radial charts with multiple `CircularStackEntry`s will display them as concentric circles.
Each `CircularStackEntry` is composed of multiple `CircularSegmentEntry`s containing the value of a data point. In radial charts a segment corresponds to an arc segment of the current ring, for pie charts it is an individual slice.
