Highcharts display legend pie chart

To display a legend in a pie chart using Highcharts, you can follow these steps:

Include the Highcharts library in your HTML file. You can either download it from the Highcharts website or include it from a CDN like this:

<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>

Create a container element for the chart in your HTML file, like this:

<div id="chart-container"></div>

In your JavaScript code, create a Highcharts chart object and configure it with the data and chart options. For example:

Highcharts.chart('chart-container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'pie'
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Pie Chart Example'
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'Sales',
    data: [
      {name: 'Chrome', y: 61.41},
      {name: 'Firefox', y: 10.85},
      {name: 'Edge', y: 4.67},
      {name: 'Safari', y: 4.18},
      {name: 'Other', y: 18.89}
    ]
  }],
  plotOptions: {
    pie: {
      allowPointSelect: true,
      cursor: 'pointer',
      dataLabels: {
        enabled: true,
        format: '{point.name}: {point.y:.2f}%'
      },
      showInLegend: true
    }
  },
  legend: {
    align: 'right',
    layout: 'vertical',
    margin: 0,
    verticalAlign: 'middle',
    itemMarginTop: 5,
    itemMarginBottom: 5
  }
});

In this example, we're creating a pie chart with the Highcharts chart function and passing in a set of options:

chart.type is set to 'pie' to create a pie chart
title.text is set to 'Pie Chart Example' to set the main title
series is set to an array with one object containing name and data properties to set the chart data
plotOptions.pie is set to configure the pie chart options, including the ability to select points, data labels, and legend
plotOptions.pie.dataLabels.format is set to a string format to customize the data labels for each pie slice
plotOptions.pie.showInLegend is set to true to show the legend in the chart
legend is set to configure the legend options, including alignment, layout, and margin

Note that you can customize many other options to further customize your pie chart and legend, such as the colors and styles of the pie slices and legend items, the position and styling of the chart title and axis labels, and the behavior of the chart tooltip. You can find more details and examples in the Highcharts documentation.
