How can I draw a chart with percentages using SmartXLS?

Question

I am trying to draw a chart in an xlsx file using Java. I found SmartXLS and decided to give it a try. So far, I managed to draw the charts correctly, but I can't seem to be able to display percentages on the chart. Any ideas how to do that?

EDIT: I realized my question may not have been detailed enough.

I am trying to draw a Pie chart, where the percentages are added on the chart itself. Thanks to Michael, I know how to do it in cells, but I do not know how to do it on the chart.

EDIT 2: There is no mention of the problem in the SmartXLS documentation, which is why I am requesting help. I do not need anyone writing code for me, just which function can do what I need.

This might be what you are looking for: rangeStyle.setCustomFormat("0.00%");

See: http://www.smartxls.com/java/formatting.htm#vformat-number

In this example , they are applying some formatting to a chart. It seems like it matters from what area you obtain your rangeStyle Object.

For instance, you can call it as rangeStyle = workBook.getRangeStyle(1, 1, 2, 2);//get format from range B2:C3 . The formatting you set applies to selection within the sheet, or the parameters passed to getRangeStyle() (defaults to whole stylesheet without parameters, otherwise a cell range). Perhaps you can select the part of your chart instead of the original datacells, and then apply the formatting as before?
