Hey, that “donut” trick is awesome)) Cool approach. I do work with charts a lot, my approach is to create column charts. First step is to calculate maximum value from the data given, say monthly sales. Then each column “style: —value” should be assigned with its value divided on maximum and mult on 100% inside the html, then you can set the height of the column inside the css due to —value. This can be even animated, which is cool. However, frankly speaking, I don’t know how to connect the columns tops with the simple line graph, without using canvas element. I don’t like canvas because of its improper resizing. Sorry for the mind mess, I think you got the point))

Pie charts have a hover to show details feature onces a user hovers over any portion. I think that functionality will be missed while implementing using gradients.
