Customizing callout strokes in a Flex PieChart control

The following example shows how you can customize the callout stroke in a Flex PieChart control by using the PieSeries class’s calloutStroke style and the mx.graphics.Stroke class, as seen in the following snippet:

<mx:PieChart dataProvider="{dp.product}" height="250" width="100%">
    <mx:series>
        <mx:PieSeries id="pieSeries" field="@data">
            <mx:calloutStroke>
                <mx:Stroke color="black"weight="2" />
            </mx:calloutStroke>
            <mx:filters>
                <mx:Array />
            </mx:filters>
        </mx:PieSeries>
    </mx:series>
</mx:PieChart>

To see an example of changing the stroke around the pie chart itself, see “Customizing strokes in a Flex PieChart control”.
