useSlicePath

The useSlicePath hook takes a PieSliceData as input, and returns a Skia SkPath path object that represents the path for that pie slice.

info

• You wouldn't normally use this unless you were creating entirely custom slices.

Example

import { Pie, PolarChart, useSlicePath, type PieSliceData } from "victory-native";
import { Path } from "@shopify/react-native-skia";
import DATA from "./my-data";

function MyCustomSlice({ slice }: { slice: PieSliceData }) {
  // 👇 use the hook to generate a path object.
  const path = useSlicePath(slice);
  /* 👇 experiment with any other customizations you want */
  return <Path path={path} color={slice.color} style="fill" />;
}

export function MyChart() {
  return (
    <PolarChart
      data={DATA}
      colorKey={"color"}
      valueKey={"value"}
      labelKey={"label"}
    >
      <Pie.Chart>
        {/* 👇 pass the PieSliceData to our custom component */}
        {({ slice }) => <MyCustomSlice slice={slice} />}
      </Pie.Chart>
    </PolarChart>
  );
}

Arguments

useSlicePath has a function signature as follows:

useSlicePath(slice: PieSliceData): SkPath

slice

The slice argument is a PieSliceData object used to generate the slices's path. Generally, this data comes from render function of the Pie.Chart, as illustrated in the example above.

Returns

path

The SkPath path object to be used as the path argument of a Skia <Path /> element.
