Question

I\'m attempting to create a simple pie chart like shown in the graphic below:

I like the previous answer, but I felt it was lacking in code clarity and it didn't really cover how to utilize labels.

I moved the values into a data object array for easy declaration. Other values, like percentage, I explicitly declared as a property on the data object, or as a separate variable. This, I think, makes it easier to read.

The refactoring also made it easier to tie the values to input boxes if that's something you're interested in.

To see what I mean and play with the values check out this CodePen: http://codepen.io/zfrisch/pen/pRbZeb

  var data = [{
    label: "one",
    value: 100,
    color: 'white'
  }, {
    label: "two",
    value: 100,
    color: 'skyBlue'
  }, {
    label: "three",
    value: 100,
    color: 'yellow'
  }];

  var total = 0;
  for (obj of data) {
    total += obj.value;
  }

  var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
  var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  var previousRadian;
  var middle = {
    x: canvas.width / 2,
    y: canvas.height / 2,
    radius: canvas.height / 2,
  };
  
   //background
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.arc(middle.x, middle.y, middle.radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
  ctx.closePath();
  ctx.stroke();
  ctx.fillStyle = "black";
  ctx.fill();
   //end of background

  for (obj of data) {
    previousRadian = previousRadian || 0;
    obj.percentage = parseInt((obj.value / total) * 100)
    
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.fillStyle = obj.color;
    obj.radian = (Math.PI * 2) * (obj.value / total);
    ctx.moveTo(middle.x, middle.y);
    //middle.radius - 2 is to add border between the background and the pie chart
    ctx.arc(middle.x, middle.y, middle.radius - 2, previousRadian, previousRadian + obj.radian, false);
    ctx.closePath();
    ctx.fill();
    ctx.save();
    ctx.translate(middle.x, middle.y);
    ctx.fillStyle = "black";
    ctx.font = middle.radius / 10 + "px Arial";
    ctx.rotate(previousRadian + obj.radian);
    var labelText = "'" + obj.label + "' " + obj.percentage  + "%";
    ctx.fillText(labelText, ctx.measureText(labelText).width / 2, 0);
    ctx.restore();

    previousRadian += obj.radian;
  }
