Chart configuration

from pygal import Config config = Config() config.show_legend = False config.human_readable = True config.fill = True chart = pygal.XY(config) from math import cos, sin, pi a = 2 * pi / 5. chart.add('', [(cos(ia+pi/2.), sin(i*a+pi/2.)) for i in (0,2,4,1,3,0)])

How

pygal is customized at chart level with the help of the Config class).

Instance

The config class works this way:

from pygal import Config

config = Config()
config.show_legend = False
config.human_readable = True
config.fill = True
chart = pygal.XY(config)
...

and you can share the config object between several charts. For one shot chart rendering several shorthand are available:

Attribute

Config values are settable on the chart object.

chart = pygal.XY(config)
chart.show_legend = False
chart.human_readable = True
chart.fill = True
...

Keyword args

Config values can be given as keyword args at init:

chart = pygal.XY(show_legend=False, human_readable=True, fill=True)

And at render:

chart = pygal.XY()
chart.render(show_legend=False, human_readable=True, fill=True)
