Pie charts

Introduction

Pie charts can be used to compare the relative proportions of a certain metric within a category. The data in a pie chart is displayed in slices that form a circular graph. Each slice of the pie is relative to the size of the category used for the chart. The entire chart represents the total (number or 100%) of the category, while each slice represents a part of the total. See the illustration below for an example.

A legend is automatically generated for a pie chart.

Properties

You can edit the properties of a pie chart in the Edit pie chart panel.

Below is a description of the properties of the Pie chart.

Maximum number of slices

A pie chart displays up to six slices. If the data consists of more than five slices for the selected category, a sixth slice is displayed representing the combined total of the remaining categories that are not displayed individually.

The purpose of the sixth slice is to provide a complete picture of the data distribution, when not all categories are displayed individually. It shows the proportion of the data that is not covered by the top 5 individual categories in comparison to the whole.
