Do any Jamroom modules use pie charts drawn by Flot in jrGraph?

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of. jrGraph needs a re-look-at. I remember trying to setup a graph with double axis stuff a while back and the x stuff and y stuff wasn't getting through.

So if your trying something that you expect should work, but its not, it could well be jrGraph not getting your variables through to Flot.

Pie charts are not supported by Flot without a plugin, so right now there is no pie chart support.

I have registered my graph function and added my graph template to my module.

In the graph function I add the flot pie chart js to the javascript_href_footer (the pie plugin script is already in the flot contrib directory).

If I hard code my data into my graph template it works ok, but I'm stuck with passing graph data into the template either via the jrGraph_embed function or via my custom graph function.

What I'd like to be able to do is pass in $override_data in some way, maybe in the smarty function eg:
{$override_data='[{ label: "Series1",  data: 10},{ label: "Series2",  data: 30},{ label: "Series3",  data: 90},{ label: "Series4",  data: 70},{ label: "Series5",  data: 80},{ label: "Series6",  data: 110}]' }
{jrGraph_embed module="ujPlanner" name="graph_pie_chart" override_data=$override_data}
Or in the registered function, eg:
$_rs['override_data'] = array("Series1" => 10,"Series2" => 5,"Series3" => 11,"Series4" => 7);

For now though I think I'm going to have to parse a non-jrGraph graph template within my module so that I can get my item data to appear as a pie.

I actually ended up bypassing jrGraph js by using php to draw the pie chart and save it as an item image when saving or updating the item. That way I don't need to cache it and can use the same image to print into a pdf (one of the requirements of the design is for the item to be saveable as a pdf).

Glad it is at least working for you now - down the road here when I get some time I can revisit the jrGraph module and look at bundling in the pie chart module.
