Highlight a specific part of a section in a pie chart.

[IoanaAlexandru]

This may be a rather specific request, but please bear with me. I'd like to highlight a specific part (%) of a pie chart section(s) (maybe through transparency).

My use case is as follows: I'm using a pie chart for a class in university, to visually represent the weight of assignments (e.g. a project may be 30%, two homeworks 10% each and the exam 50% of the final grade). Now, for most classes, you need to do at least a bit of each assignment to pass, for instance 50% of each assignment (corresponding to 15%, 2x5% and 25% for the previous example). Sometimes it's more complicated, like you may need to do 50% of the exam and 50% of the other tasks in a cumulative manner (so you could do the project and get a max score, and not need to do the homeworks anymore).

For the first (simple) use-case, having a simple highlightValue property inside PieChartSectionData and a way to toggle whether I want sub-slices to be highlighted or not would suffice. I tried to use my bad photoshop skills to show a rough idea of what I mean by highlighting through transparency:

For the second use case, I'm not sure what the best visualisation would be, I'm open to suggestions. It would be interesting if we could define some pie chart data using a tree of values rather than a simple list. It would require PieChartSectionData to have another (optional) field containing a list of PieChartSectionData. For the second example above, this would look something like:

PieChart(
  PieChartData(
    sections: [
      PieChartSectionData(
        title: "Assignments",
        value: 50,
        highlightValue: 25,
        subsections: [
          PieChartSectionData(
            title: "Homework1",
            value: 10
          ),
          PieChartSectionData(
            title: "Homework2",
            value: 10
          ),
          PieChartSectionData(
            title: "Project",
            value: 30
          ),
        ]
      ),
      PieChartSectionData(
        title: "Exam",
        value: 50,
        highlightValue: 25,
      )
    ]
  ),
);
