pie-chart generator replacement

Contest Brief

FREELANCER.COM MESSES UP OUR LINKS, SO PLEASE CHECK LINKS IN THE ATTACHED FILE "links.txt".

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:

We are using image-charts.com chart generator (see attached chart[1].png file and see link in links.txt).

The image-charts.com chart looks ugly, compared to the old Google Charts (see attached [chrome_2020-05-28_21-03-52.png] and links.txt).

The problem is Google API is deprecated and we need a replacement which looks similar to the Google API (NOT similar to image-charts.com). The solution needs to be URL-compatible and either Javascript or free third-party server with available source code and no watermark.

    Hello Contestants, thank you for all you great submissions. I have decided to award #37 Anish S because he was the first one to provide exact recommendation which is to remove Old Google API and replace with New Google API. I already fixed my site based on his fix.

      Thanks for the clarification. Some other entries are visually better (well, my text color could be dark yet can be scripted to black/gray and other contestant entries have similar options too etc).

      Too bad this wasn't in your mind as well.

      We need clear requirements: your references generate a pie chart and RETURN an image (PNG) so this cannot be done by using a javascript in web browser only. E.g. a web server side solution must be made in this case (PHP, Node.js, ...).

      If you only want or are satisfied to have a (Google) chart made on a web page with parameters then do confirm that.

    *** ATTENTION ALL *** I have heard that the Google Charts API is deprecated and for this reason it is NOT ALLOWED in the solution. I need the same look as Google Charts API as shown in the sample 3D pie chart, but without using DEPRECATED API.

      Clarification: the look could be the SAME OR BETTER. Making it same look is safe choice. But if you are a great designer please try making it better than Google.
