jfreechart customize piechart to show absolute values and percentages

Solution 1:

Use the MessageFormat symbol {1} for the absolute section value.

See StandardPieSectionLabelGenerator for details.

public class MyMinimalPieChartExample {

    private static final String KEY1 = "Datum 1";
    public static final String KEY2 = "Datum 2";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DefaultPieDataset dataset = new DefaultPieDataset();
        dataset.setValue(KEY1, 99);
        dataset.setValue(KEY2, 77);

        JFreeChart someChart = ChartFactory.createPieChart(
            "Header", dataset, true, true, false);
        PiePlot plot = (PiePlot) someChart.getPlot();
        plot.setSectionPaint(KEY1, Color.green);
        plot.setSectionPaint(KEY2, Color.red);
        plot.setExplodePercent(KEY1, 0.10);
        plot.setSimpleLabels(true);

        PieSectionLabelGenerator gen = new StandardPieSectionLabelGenerator(
            "{0}: {1} ({2})", new DecimalFormat("0"), new DecimalFormat("0%"));
        plot.setLabelGenerator(gen);

        JFrame f = new JFrame("Test");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(new ChartPanel(someChart) {
            @Override
            public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
                return new Dimension(400, 300);
            }
        });
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);

    }
}
