Circles

Lightwheight JavaScript library that generates circular graphs in SVG. Now with animation.

Usage

Include the circles.js file in your HTML file. There are no dependencies.

Create a graph by calling:

Circles.create({
	id:         'circles-1',
	percentage: 43,
	radius:     60,
	width:      10,
	number:     7.13,
	text:       '%',
	colors:     ['#D3B6C6', '#4B253A'],
	duration: 	400
})

where

• id - the DOM element that will hold the graph
• percentage - the percentage dictating the smaller circle
• radius - the radius of the circles
• width - the width of the ring (optional, has value 10, if not specified)
• number - the number to display at the centre of the graph (optional, the percentage will show if not specified)
• text - the text to display after the number (optional, nothing will show if not specified)
• colors - an array of colors, with the first item coloring the full circle (optional, it will be ['#EEE', '#F00'] if not specified)
• duration - value in ms of animation's duration; defaults to 500; if null is passed, the animation will not run.

Styles

The styles have been specified inline to avoid external dependencies. But they can be overriden via CSS easily, being simply HTML elements.

To help with this, a few CSS classes have been exposed:

• circles-wrp - the element containing the graph
• circles-text-wrp - the element wrapping the text and number
• circles-text - the element containing the text
• circles-number - the element containing the number
