public static JFreeChart createPieChart(java.lang.String title,
                                        PieDataset dataset,
                                        PieDataset previousDataset,
                                        int percentDiffForMaxScale,
                                        boolean greenForIncrease,

                                        boolean showDifference)

Creates a pie chart with default settings that compares 2 datasets. The colour of each section will be determined by the move from the value for the same key in previousDataset. ie if value1 > value2 then the section will be in green (unless greenForIncrease is false, in which case it would be red). Each section can have a shade of red or green as the difference can be tailored between 0% (black) and percentDiffForMaxScale% (bright red/green).

For instance if percentDiffForMaxScale is 10 (10%), a difference of 5% will have a half shade of red/green, a difference of 10% or more will have a maximum shade/brightness of red/green.

The chart object returned by this method uses a PiePlot instance as the plot.

Written by Benoit Xhenseval.

Parameters:

title - the chart title (null permitted).

dataset - the dataset for the chart (null permitted).

previousDataset - the dataset for the last run, this will be used to compare each key in the dataset

percentDiffForMaxScale - scale goes from bright red/green to black, percentDiffForMaxScale indicate the change required to reach top scale.

greenForIncrease - an increase since previousDataset will be displayed in green (decrease red) if true.

legend - a flag specifying whether or not a legend is required.

tooltips - configure chart to generate tool tips?

locale - the locale (null not permitted).

subTitle - displays a subtitle with colour scheme if true

showDifference - create a new dataset that will show the % difference between the two datasets.

Returns:

A pie chart.

Since:

1.0.7
