Hi I’d like flat design so the shadow of the pie chart is so annoying there is no option in properties editor. Is anyone know how to hide shadow? Thanks ---

This will sound counter intuitive but set the chart to 3D Pie and then set 3D Depth to 0 ---

set the outline stroke to zero to remove the lines in the ‘pie’ to remove, the border, I’ve used this as the porpertyChange script of the chart: ```auto from java.awt import Color c = Color(128,128,128,0) event.source.getChart().getPlot().setOutlinePaint(c) ``` ---

I set the outline stroke to zero but didn’t work. For the script it only work only if I change something in properties. ---

Here’s what I have in a property change script on a chart. Note that the script generally won’t run in designer, but you’ll see the effects in a running client. For what it’s worth, this is on a ring chart (not 3D). Within the property editor for the chart, the outline stroke is 0.0 and the outline color is clear. ```auto if event.propertyName in ["componentRunning", "data"]: chart = event.source.getChart() plot = chart.getPlot() # Hide the chart decorations plot.setSeparatorsVisible(False) plot.setShadowPaint(None) plot.setOutlineVisible(False) ``` ---

You are using in a **window event** a script intended for an event on a button or other component that is a **sibling** of the chart. So, `event.source.parent` isn’t the right hierarchy. You probably want `event.source.rootContainer` in its place. Tip: Use the property search wizard in the upper right to help you construct the python to reference other components.
