title: How to create a Doughnut chart in windows 8 app?
body: <p>I am using the excellent <a href="http://modernuicharts.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">Modern</a> UI Charts for creating a Doughnut chart in my Windows 8 application. But I haven't been able to customize it much which has led me to look for other ways to create a doughnut chart. I would be very happy if anyone could answer my below questions on how to customize the Modern UI chart or if not then please do suggest on how i can implement my own Doughnut chart or any other FREE library which i can use to implement it.</p>
  
  <p>Customizability questions on Modern UI charts:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>How to increase the size of the Doughnut chart ? (<strong>Major Issue</strong>)</li>
  <li>How to show percentages instead of numbers on the chart ? I know I can calculate the percentages and pass them to the chart but I will still not see the "%" symbol on the UI which will confuse the user as to whether the numbers are actual statistic number of percentages (<strong>Minor Issue</strong>)</li>
  <li>Is there any way I can show the legend items vertically rather than horizantally ? (<strong>Minor Issue</strong>)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I would be happy if atleast I can increase the size of the chart otherwise I will have to look at a totally new way to create doughnut charts. Any lead or help on creating doughnut charts will be deeply appreciated. Thank you</p>
