creating a pie chart with cl_gui_chart_engine

i am having issues creating a pie chart with cl_gui_chart_engine. I cannot seem to find a combination of what should be categories and what should be a series in order to get the pie to display correctly. I get one big slice. I have tried having each value be both a category and a series. i have tried one category and multiple series and one series and multiple categories. nothing seems to work. i have hard coded my data to be a 50-50 split, in order to make sure it is not a data issue.

I tried the designer to help build the customizing, and YIKES! it does not remember the last things i did, wont copy to the clipboard, wont read in 90% of the settings in a saved file... it is pretty useless. Plus, i generates entries for ALL values, including those that are defaults, meaning i get a customizing XML about 50 times longer than i need.

Its a simple pie... i want the number of orders by order source (vbak-abgru). the data is fine, i can get a bar chart, just fine, but cannot get it to give me a usable pie chart.

i have checked all of the blogs and read all of the forums messages i could find.

thanks
