The datatypes used in this documentation for specifying SVGGraph options are described below. All options can be a literal value of the data type described, a variable containing the data type, or an expression that will produce the data type when evaluated (and they must always be valid PHP expressions).

array
An array, the number and data types of its members will depend on the option for which is it used.
boolean
A boolean TRUE or FALSE value, or any values that convert easily such as 1, "1", 0 and "".
callback
A callable function, which can be either the name of a function or an anonymous function itself.
colour
Any of the colour values supported by SVG inside a single or double quoted string. These include three and six digit hex codes, RGB and RGBA colours, and colour names. SVG uses "none" for no colour, which generally leaves things transparent.
fill
A colour value or one of the gradients and patterns supported by SVGGraph. See the SVGGraph colours page for details.
integer
A negative or positive whole number or 0.
measurement
An integer or float value, or a string containing a number followed by one of these CSS units: px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc.
number
Any number supported by PHP, for example 1 or -3.2 or 1.63e5 or M_PI.
string
Single or double quoted strings. Remember to double-quote your strings if you are inserting a line break:
"Line 1\nLine 2".

pie structure

Maximum distance of exploded pie slices.

This option specifies the farthest that the exploded pie slices will be drawn from the centre of the pie in pixels. The radius of the pie is reduced by the same amount to ensure that the whole exploded pie fits in the same area.

The distance each slice of pie will be drawn from the centre is determined by the explode option which positions the slices based on their value, and by an explode field used in structured data.

The explode structured data field should refer to a value in the data that is in the range 0.0 to 1.0 to specify an amount of explosion, or NULL to leave the slice in its predetermined position. See the exploded pie graphs section of the pie graphs page for an example.
