Creating pie charts with multiple series


We can also choose to show two different pie charts in a single chart by adding two series.

  name: 'Desktop OS Marketshare',
  center: ['25%', '50%'],
  size: '50%',
  data: [
    ['Windows', 88.19],
    ['MacOSX', 9.22],
    ['Linux', 1.58],
    ['Others', 1.01]
  ]
}, {
  name: 'Mobile OS Marketshare',
  center: ['75%', '50%'],
  size: '50%',
  data: [
    ['Android', 77.83],
    ['iOS', 17.8],
    ['Microsoft', 2.94],
    ['RIM', 0.72]...
