highcharts pie using javascript array

Question

I'm using the pie chart and just have a question. I'm filling a couple of arrays with json data like this...

for (var i = 0; i < json.results.length; i++) { 
    r = json.results[i];
    a_dataPerct.push(r.Percentage);
    a_dataOptionName.push(r.OptionName);
}

In the series: data: property of the chart (I'm assuming this is where it would go??) when I just do this...

data: a_dataPerct 

the percentages show up fine on the chart and the chart displays, but it says "Slice" for each section.

I want the a_dataOptionName values to be the names there instead of "Slice". How do I do that? I thought it might be like this...

data: a_dataOptionName,a_dataPerct 

but it didn't like that.

Answer 1

The pie charts data is a twodimentional array with [name, number], like this:

for (var i = 0; i < json.results.length; i++) { 
    r = json.results[i];
    a_dataPerct.push([r.OptionName, r.Percentage]);
}

Answer 2

series: [{ type: 'pie', name: '', data:

            }],
        x:[{        

                data:<?php echo $jastudentcount; ?> 
                }]

formatter: function() { return ''+ this.point.name +': '+'('+ this.y +')'+ Highcharts.numberFormat(this.percentage, 2)+' %'; }
