Core-Plot unable to plot multiple graphs on one page (iPad) - objective-c

Question

I am trying to display multiple chart's on one screen but i am not able to get it to work. I am trying to get to a point where i have 3 x pieGraphs and 1 x scattered graph on this display.
I have tried: Unable to have two CorePlot graphs show simultaneously but not been able to solve this. I am using the example app from Core-Plot as a base for the design of the code. I see no difference when i try to emulate the solution to that problem in my code.
I am able to display the first pie chart: "matchPieChart" but not the second one "questionsPieChart". It does not look like it even process the second chart.
Without consideration of the other similar problem solution (above) the result is:
The legend on the right side is the one that is associated with the pie that is displayed to the left, i guess it hook up to the second pie that i try to display. It is displayed where the second pie chart should be displayed.
Here is the code execution, see the NSLog in the code:
iPad_matchPieChartConfiguration
numberOfRecordsForPlot:
numberOfRecordsForPlot:
numberForPlot:
numberForPlot:
numberOfRecordsForPlot:
numberOfRecordsForPlot:
legendTitleForPieChart: matchPieChart
legendTitleForPieChart: matchPieChart
iPad_questionsPieChartConfiguration
legendTitleForPieChart: matchPieChart
legendTitleForPieChart: matchPieChart
legendTitleForPieChart: matchPieChart
legendTitleForPieChart: matchPieChart

I am really struggling with this and would appreciate help :-)

Change this line
questionsChartView.hostedGraph = matchPieGraph;
to
questionsChartView.hostedGraph = questionsPieGraph;
Also, check how the two hosting views are laid out within their superview (self.view). Make sure both are visible and positioned correctly.
