Portable Interactive Graphics (Charts)

Pie Charts | Curve Charts | Vertical Bar Charts (Column Charts) | Horizontal Bar Charts (Bar Charts)

Portable Interactive Graphics (PIG) provide an easy to use interface for implementing charts in MiniApps or other SAP applications. The following chart types are available as PIG charts for SAP developers:

Below we present examples using these chart types. See Charts - Types and their Uses for information of the usage of the different chart types.

Note: The actual charts may differ from the charts shown here, depending on the version of the PIG charts.

PIG also offers non-stacked area charts. However, we do not recommend to use these charts, because the colored areas provide a wrong impression of the actual data values (which relate to the x-axis and not to the nearest line).
