It seems only a few months back I posted an article on creating Pie Charts using a GTL based macro.  Well, looking back, that was almost 6 years ago!!  Recently, a colleague here at SAS needed to create Pie Charts in his report along with other plots created using SGPLOT procedure.  While it is certainly possible to create great Pie Charts using the GCHART procedure, he wanted something that was consistent with the graphs created using the SG procedures.

I referred him to the macro, which he used to do most of his work.  But, over the past 6 years, new features have been added, some of which are applicable to the Pie Charts too.  So, it seems it may be a good time to update the pie Chart Macro.  I added the following features to the Pie Chart Macro.

Default use of CENTERFIRSTSLICE.  When there are pies with 2 slices, this creates a nicer symmetric view.  The centering can be at any angle, but best angles are multiples of 90.  Centering also works fine for cases with multiple slices.

Allow setting group colors.  Default skin is SHEEN, but this can be set to NONE or one of the other ones.  In this Pie, I have set custom data colors.

Legends can be displayed at bottom or side. Legend chicklet sizes can be adjusted.  When showing the category legend, the data in the pie slice can be changed.

Colors can be set as graduated values to create different effects.

The %SGPIE macro has many features, including URL drill down for HTML output as shown below.  The full code for the macro and the driver use cases are included in the files below.  I hope you will find these useful.

Apologies in advance for Macro coding that may be less than optimal.  I am sure Warren would write much better macro code.  But, you get the idea.
