Dear Birt Gurus,

I want to install and use Donuts and Advanced Chart in latest Eclipse Birt Version 4.8. Could anyone please help me to install the advanced chart types in Eclipse Birt.

I have found this discussion on advanced eclipse birt chart types but I cannot find these features in my birt version.

In 4.8, I see 14 chart types as mentioned in the article. The donut is not a chart type. It's a setting in Format Chart tab > Value Series. There is a screenshot in your linked article. You can also increase the depth in Format Chart tab > Chart Area > General Properties button.

If you want to do more with charts, here is a very good post on the subject:

Thank you Jeff,

I was able to achieve the desired result of displaying data in the shape of Donut Chart using the standard Birt Pie Chart with some formatting.
