More complex pie charts

Hi,
I'd like to create improved pie charts with effects like this without doing them by hand :

I'm bad at scripting in illustrator, but I'd like some effects like the slice's size variations and the text orientation.

Hi again,
I'm experiencing a bug with Pie maker 1.002.
With  the % box unchecked, if the first digit of the inner value is superior to the first digit of the outer value, the inner gets red and the OK button gets greyed out, even if the outer value is by far bigger. In the opposite situation, the inner stays black and the OK button works even if the inner value is way bigger.

This doesn't happen with version 1.

Is it the same for you ?


Thanks heaps for the feedback.

the issue, as far as I can make out is due to me comparing to strings, I have now passed them as floats so it should work now.

the new version can be downloaded from here:

please let me know if you come across any other issues or bugs.

thanks again..

    I was playing with ScripUI and put something together.

    it's painful.

    Whats with the ugly tabs?

    also from what I understand I need to use bridgetalk to then get it to talk to illustrator.

    this has me stumped.

    I can get all the arrays and variables filled.

    but then how do I target illustrator to start drawing the Pie?

    I have a question: what's the dual colors of each pie slice represent? ex: for "piece of cake", what does the green and the brown mean?

    Well in this case it doesn't matter, let's say the size of the slice means the quantity and the brown means their temperature. It can be anything. It's basically the same as this kind of bar chart which Illustrator already does :
