Quick Start Example

import { CircularChart3DComponent, CircularChart3DSeriesCollectionDirective, CircularChart3DSeriesDirective, PieSeries3D, CircularChartDataLabel3D, CircularChartLegend3D, Inject } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
function App() {
    const circularData = [
        { x: 'Chrome', y: 62.92 },
        { x: 'Internet Explorer', y: 6.12 },
        { x: 'Opera', y: 3.15 },
        { x: 'Edge', y: 5.5 },
        { x: 'Safari', y: 19.97 },
        { x: 'Others', y: 2.34 }
    ];
    return <CircularChart3DComponent id='charts' title='Browser Market Shares in November 2023' tilt={-45} legendSettings={{ visible: true, position: 'Right' }}>
        <Inject services={[PieSeries3D, CircularChartDataLabel3D, CircularChartLegend3D]} />
        <CircularChart3DSeriesCollectionDirective>
            <CircularChart3DSeriesDirective dataSource={circularData} xName='x' yName='y' dataLabel={{ visible: true, position: 'Outside', name: 'x', font: { fontWeight: '600' }, connectorStyle: { length: '40px' } }}>
            </CircularChart3DSeriesDirective>
        </CircularChart3DSeriesCollectionDirective>
    </CircularChart3DComponent>;
}
export default App;
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('charts'));
root.render(<App />);

Common Patterns

Creating a Donut Chart

<CircularChart3DSeriesDirective
  dataSource={data}
  xName="category"
  yName="value"
  innerRadius="40%"  // Creates donut effect
  radius="80%"
/>

Adding Data Labels

import { CircularChartDataLabel3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

<CircularChart3DComponent>
  <Inject services={[PieSeries3D, CircularChartDataLabel3D]} />
  <CircularChart3DSeries>
    <CircularChart3DSeriesDirective
      dataSource={data}
      xName="x"
      yName="y"
      dataLabel={{ visible: true, position: 'Outside' }}
    />
  </CircularChart3DSeries>
</CircularChart3DComponent>

Enabling Legend and Tooltip

import { CircularChartLegend3D, CircularChartTooltip3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

<CircularChart3DComponent
  legendSettings={{ visible: true, position: 'Bottom' }}
  tooltip={{ enable: true, format: '${point.x}: ${point.y}' }}
>
  <Inject services={[PieSeries3D, CircularChartLegend3D, CircularChartTooltip3D]} />
  {/* Series configuration */}
</CircularChart3DComponent>

Handling Empty Points

<CircularChart3DSeriesDirective
  dataSource={dataWithNulls}
  xName="category"
  yName="value"
  emptyPointSettings={{ 
    mode: 'Average',  // Options: Gap, Average, Drop, Zero
    fill: '#cccccc'
  }}
/>
