html – Creating a Static Pie Chart with CSS

Question:

I am trying to create a pie chart using CSS and HTML. I would just display some static numbers so I try to keep it relatively simple and not use animation.

I am currently facing an obstacle on my way to creating the look I want. The code snippet below works exactly as I would like, the problem is that conic-gradient is not supported in firefox and internet explorer which will be a problem in this project.

.progress-circle {
  --d: 50px;
  --color: #002F65;
  --progress: 40;
  border-radius: var(--d);
  height: var(--d);
  width: var(--d);
  background: conic-gradient( var(--color) calc(calc(var(--progress) / 100) * 360deg), transparent calc(calc(var(--progress) / 100) * 360deg));
}
<div class="progress-circle"></div>

I was looking for an alternative similar to the example above which led me to this article: designing simple pie charts with css

My problem is that the way the percentage growth of a pie chart is calculated doesn't seem to be compatible with what I'm trying to achieve. as defined by transformation: rotate(.1turn);
My main question is, is it possible to make the conical gradient compatible with other browsers? If not, what is the best way to approach creating a pie chart with CSS so that it resembles the first example?

For context, I'll be passing data from an array to determine the percentage of the pie chart.

.pie {
  width: 100px; height: 100px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  background: yellowgreen;
  background-image:
  linear-gradient(to right, transparent 50%, #655 0);
}

.pie::before {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  margin-left: 50%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: 0 100% 100% 0 / 50%;
  background: #655;
  transform-origin: left;
  transform: rotate(.1turn);
}
<div class="pie"></div>

Answer:

Here is an idea based on this previous answer

.box {
  /* percentage to degree
    --s:0 for [0% 50%]
    --s:1 for [50% 100%]
   */
  --v:calc( ((18/5) * var(--p) - 90)*1deg);

  width:100px;
  height:100px;
  display:inline-block;
  border-radius:50%;
  background:
    linear-gradient(var(--v), yellowgreen 50%,transparent 0) 0 /calc((1 - var(--s))*100%),
    linear-gradient(var(--v), transparent 50%,#655        0) 0 /calc(var(--s)*100%),
    linear-gradient(to right, yellowgreen 50%,#655 0);
}
<div class="box" style="--p:5;--s:0"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:20;--s:0"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:50;--s:0"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:70;--s:1"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:95;--s:1"></div>

We can optimize the code with min() and keep using only one variable, but you need to pay attention to support: https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-math-functions

.box {
  /* percentage to degree  */
  --v:calc( ((18/5) * var(--p) - 90)*1deg);

  width:100px;
  height:100px;
  display:inline-block;
  border-radius:50%;
  background:
    linear-gradient(var(--v), yellowgreen 50%,transparent 0) 0 /min(100%,(50 - var(--p))*100%),
    linear-gradient(var(--v), transparent 50%,#655        0) 0 /min(100%,(var(--p) - 50)*100%),
    linear-gradient(to right, yellowgreen 50%,#655 0);
}
<div class="box" style="--p:5;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:20;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:50;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:70;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:95;"></div>

Another idea using pseudo-element with more support:

.box {
  /* percentage to degree  */
  --v: calc( ((18/5) * var(--p) - 180)*1deg);
  
  width: 100px;
  display: inline-flex;
  border-radius: 50%;
  overflow: hidden;
  background: linear-gradient(to right, yellowgreen 50%, #655 0);
}

.box::before,
.box::after {
  content: "";
  width: 50%;
  padding-top:100%;
  transform: rotate(var(--v));
}

.box::before {
  background: 
    linear-gradient(yellowgreen 0 0) 
    0 / calc((50 - var(--p))*1%);
  transform-origin: right;
}

.box::after {
  background: 
    linear-gradient(#655 0 0)       
    0 / calc((var(--p) - 50)*1%);
  transform-origin: left;
}
<div class="box" style="--p:5;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:20;width:150px;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:50;width:120px;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:70;"></div>
<div class="box" style="--p:95;width:80px;"></div>
