Pie slices too slow to display on pie chart

[rtibmx]

I have a 3D pie chart with about 15 different elements. I am loading the data for the slices natively in the same page (not from an external xml file). I am using the latest version of FusionCharts.

 

 

 

There is about a full one second delay between the time the background for the chart appears and the time that the pie slices and total appears. This makes the chart load seem a bit slow.

 

 

 

As a test I changed things so that I only loaded one set of data (1 slice for the entire chart) and refreshed the page, and then everything loads instantly. I then changed it to 3 slices and it took a tab bit longer but still plenty fast. Then I tried with 5 slices, then 8 etc.

 

 

 

As I increase the slices in the chart, the time it takes for them to appear after the graph loads also goes up. Currently with the one second delay it makes it feel quite sluggish.

 

 

 

Is there a way I can speed this up? If not, is there a way I can make it say "Loading..." in the center of the graph prior to the slices displaying? Remember that this data is being set via setDataXML with a direct string so the delay is not caused by fetching the data.

 

 

 

For reference here is a snippet that shows the chart settings:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Humm... I put the code within the code blocks but its still not showing - please hit the Reply Quoted option to see the code).

 

 

 

I also tried turning off some options like smart labels and reducing the slice depth but none of this made any difference.

 

 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Could you please try defaultAnimation='0' (and also animation='0' if needed)?

Thank you Sudipto. Setting defaultAnimation='0' seems to have helped some. I had tried animation='0' previously but that didn't help.

 

 

 

However I am struggling with how to make some various animations on the 3D pie chart. Please see this post which describes my questions on the subject of animation: http://www.fusioncharts.com/forum/Topic12068-28-1.aspx

Hi,

In case you wish to display similar types of animation, I am afraid, as of now FusionCharts does not support this.
