PATCH: Better pie chart layout

[JBo]

Hi,

When 'Show legend' option is active in a pie chart, a lot of space is lost on the right side as can be seen in attached zabbix_pie.png.

I have attached a patch that:

• removes 'Value:' useless label,
• moves values next to item names,
• centers pie horizontally.

After applying this patch, the pie looks like attached zabbix_pie_optimized.png and graph width can be reduced.

The patch applies to Zabbix 2.0.0.
If you like it, you can vote for it on Zabbix bug traker : ZBX-5068

Regards,
JBo

Hi,

Thank you for your awesome idea & patch!

We're still running Zabbix 1.8.11, so I couldn't just apply your patch on our system.

I've now created a similar kind of patch for Zabbix 1.8.13, but with a few additional (marked in bold) modifications.

The attached patch changes the following things:

1. Horizontally centers all pie charts
2. removes legend on the right
3. displays legend in a table form - similar to the normal/stacked graphs
4. removes hostname if all the items are on the same host
5. fix: changed the normal/stacked graphs' default function type from [avg] to [all]

One issue with my table layout for the pie chart legend is that the 'value' and '% of total' headers are fixed to English and not multilingual!
