I'm not able to spend the time I'd like on this project and it's slowly fallen into neglect. If any developers would like to take on the project (especially addressing the issues reported), I'd welcome an email at [email protected]
d3pie is a highly configurable, re-usable script built on d3.js and jQuery for creating clear, attractive pie charts. It's free, open source, and the source code for the website and script are found right here on github.
Visit d3pie.org to learn about the script and create your own pie charts via the online generation tool. This section is to document the codebase only. The website contains the script download links, standalone examples, full documentation and lots of demo pies for you to play around with. That's the place to start!
To download the script, go to the ./d3pie folder and pick one of the files (minimized or not).
If you fancy hacking on the d3pie code, awesome! Visit the ./d3pie-source folder. That contains some more info about how the code is organized and how the file is generated.
Pull requests are always welcome! Please know that all contributors should understand that they'll be contributing under the license of the script (MIT).
I wrote the website along with the script itself, and with the generator in particular in mind. The generator is my version of TDD (test-driven-development). It's a UI that tests all (or almost all) features of the script to confirm everything works as expected. So as I developed d3pie, I added the UI to generate pie charts with the available settings. It felt, and still feels, like a very logical way to develop code - and never loses sight of the fact that this script is intended for consumption by human beings.
Anyway, I digress. This codebase contains the website code as well as the d3pie code. It uses requireJS and Handlebars, and a few other helper libraries here and there (jQuery, jQuery UI and others - see below). For the build process, I use Grunt - it minifies everything (CSS, JS), precompiles the Handlebar templates and bundles everything into md5-renamed files. It saves about 0.5MB of space. Yay. I also use grunt to build the d3pie.js and d3pie.min.js files. See the gruntfile for the various tasks for all that.
Lots! A big thanks to the developers of these scripts.
