The 'Microsoft Chart Control' ActiveX control, or MSChart,  that comes with MS Office has a lot to offer, however does not have much documentation and requires a lot of CiCode to configure correctly.

The simplest way to configure and implement an instance of MSChart is to create a 'Wrapper ActiveX' object in your programming language of choice, which contains an instance of the MSChart ActiveX control, configured in the way you will be using it in SCADA.

Attached is a 'Wrapper' that uses the MSChart control, and is configured to display one PieChart, with up to 10 segments. The display is all hard-coded within the 'Wrapper', all that can be configured from the Citect side is the Title, the names of the Segments, and the value of each segment. The 'Wrapper' has been configured such that SCADA tags can be linked to the Segments, so that when the Tag changes value, the graph is updated appropriately.

To use:

* Register the attached CiPie.ocx control, ensure you also have the MSChart control - possibly comes with MS Office
* Paste an instance on a SCADA page, record AN
* Use Cicode similar to that shown below to configure the control, and associate tag to it.

In this E.g we have a pie chart at AN205 and AN206.

//Set the Heading
_ObjectSetProperty(ObjectByName("AN205"),"ChartHeading","My Pie");

//Configure 8 Segments
_ObjectSetProperty(ObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg1","My Tag 1");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg2","My Tag 2");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg3","My Tag 3");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg4","My Tag 4");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg5","My Tag 5");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg6","My Tag 6");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg7","My Tag 7");
_ObjectSetProperty(;_ObjectSetPropertyObjectByName("AN205"),"NameSeg8","My Tag 8");
;
//Link the Tags to each Segment. The value will then update whenever the tags change
ObjectAssociatePropertyWithTag(ObjectByName("AN205"), "DataSeg1", "Tag1");
;ObjectAssociatePropertyWithTag(ObjectByName("AN205"), "DataSeg2", "Tag2");
;ObjectAssociatePropertyWithTag(ObjectByName("AN205"), "DataSeg3", "Tag3");
