SUMMARY
=======

When creating a Pie chart using the MSChart control, you might wish to label
each "slice" of the pie as a percentage of the total. This article demonstrates
how to do this.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following example illustrates how to accomplish this task:

1. Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
   default.

2. From the Project menu, choose Components, check Microsoft Chart Control, and
   click OK.

3. Add an instance of the MSChart control to Form1.

4. Add the following code to Form1:

      Private Sub Form_Load()

         With MSChart1
            .chartType = VtChChartType2dPie

         For i = 1 To 3
            .Row = 1
            .Column = i
            .Data = i * 100
         Next
       
         With .DataGrid
            .RowLabelCount = 1
            .ColumnCount = 3
            .RowCount = 1
            For i = 1 To .ColumnCount
               .ColumnLabel(i, 1) = "Column " & i
            Next i
            .RowLabel(1, 1) = "Data as a Percentage"
         End With
       
         For i = 1 To .Plot.SeriesCollection.Count
            With .Plot.SeriesCollection(i).DataPoints(-1).DataPointLabel
               .LocationType = VtChLabelLocationTypeOutside
               .Component = VtChLabelComponentPercent
               .PercentFormat = "0%"
               .VtFont.Size = 10
            End With
         Next i

         End With
      End Sub

5. Run the project.
