Is there any way to preselect a slice on a Google Pie chart

[S_OSTA]

Hello All

Given a simple pie chart like https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart#Example

If I click on one of the slices it becomes selected (indicated by a
coloured arc appearing at the edge of the slice) but is there any way
to draw this pie with slice 1 preselected?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, call the chart's #setSelection method in a 'ready' event listener:

google.visualization.events.addListener(pie, 'ready', function () {

       // set the selection to the first row in the chart 
    pie.setSelection([{row: 0}]);
});​

Thanks asgallant,

Worked like a charm.
