Changelog
- This release enables drill-down capabilities for the Pie and Hero webparts.
Clicking on a category in the Hero web part will now filter all other charts on the page:

This also works for pie charts:

This functionality will eventually be integrated with other chart types.
- The filter webpart now automatically updates when each end-user updates the page. This is useful in the scenario where end users "see" different data from that available when the page was first published. Also, filter options remain fresh.
- The "donut" chart type is now removed, and is simply a checkbox option on the pie chart:
A lot of minor bugfixes have been completed for this update, including:
- Improved pie chart rendering to better use available space and avoid cutting off labels
- Fixed multiple issues in rendering of Scatter charts
- Only show fields in the Aggregation dropdown that can be successfully aggregated
- Changed data filtering internals to reduce likelihood of hitting list view threshold errors
- Fixed issue with custom color palette not taking effect
- Set a default caching mode to avoid unnecessary live querying

Option to show values as percentages
Percentages are also now supported in the case of a stacked bar chart to produce a percentage stacked bar chart:

Stacked percentage bar/column chart support
#48 - A new option is now available to start axis scale at zero. Scales are normally auto-calculated. However, a better visualisation can sometimes be achieved by starting the scale at zero. A new option will allow this:

Option to start axis at zero
#51 - When a pie chart had multiple small slices, the labels would overlap. Therefore, there is now support for a separate pie legend, and configuration of its position:

The pie is rendered as shown:

- #54 - selected views would sometimes return no data after initial chart configuration. This was due to the SharePoint Framework text encoding used when storing configuration data - it didn't support non-ascii characters. The view XML is now stored as base64 to avoid this.
