A Pie chart that retrieves JSON data via AJAX

As well as the RGraph.AJAX.getNumber(), RGraph.AJAX.getString() and RGraph.AJAX.getCSV() canvas AJAX functions there's also a convenient way to fetch JSON content from your server by way of the RGraph.AJAX.getJSON() function.

Since the responses to AJAX calls start off as strings this function handily converts the response into a JavaScript object automatically for you.

As you can see from the example below this means that you can use the response directly in any chart configuration (ie the json.data and json.labels variables).

This demo page is intended to show the AJAX+JSON functionality that RGraph has so the rest of the Pie chart configuration is pretty straight forward.

The Pie chart does have a key though - which together with the tooltips use the labels which are part of the JSON response.

Added in March 2020 was the new feature of tooltip templates and the use of the tooltipsCss property - which makes it much easier to add custom styles to your tooltips.
