Libraries

Just download and place the mimaCharts.js library right before the closing body tag and we’re ready to go.

<script src="mimaCharts.min.js"></script>

JS

Prepare an array of data you want to present and Specify the chart type you want to use.

mimaChart({
    type: "donut",
    data: [{
        l: "slice", // "l" label
        v: 10, // "v" value
    }]
});




You can use following configuration to customize the chart

type: 'line', // options are line, bar, pie, donut, dial. Default is donut
ratio: '', // force an aspect ratio for the chart. defaults to 2:1
maxHeight: 'none', // set a maximum height for the chart. defaults to none, obeys aspect ratio
format: '', // display values as regular numbers (blank), % or $
scale: {
    lowest: 0, // set the lowest value on the scale, default is zero, set to "auto" to be automatic
    highest: 100, // set the highest value on the scale, leave undefined for automatic
    steps: 10, // number of steps in the scale
    roundTo: 100, // round the scale to
    defaultLabel: '', // if no label or a blank label is provided use this default label instead
    sort: true, // sort by highest value set to "false" to use your own provided sorted order,
    types: ['bar', 'pie', 'donut', 'line'], // allowed chart types for the viewer to switch between. default is all
    parentLabels: true, // when hovering a point automatically add the parent names to the label
    parentLabelsSeparator: ', ', // sets the string that is used between labels for creating parent labels
},
sort: function(a, b){}, // custom sort function to use or a string to use a function in window
onclick: function(event, dataPoint, chart) {}, // define the custom click handler for when a data point is clicked,
onchange: function(changeType, config, chart) {}, // execute this function whenever a chart's config is changed
dataLevel: 2 // for line and bar charts, what level of data do you want to stop rendering at?
