What is a Pie Chart ?
A pie chart is a circular statistical graphic used to represent data in a visually appealing way. It is divided into slices, where each slice corresponds to a specific category proportion relative to the whole. The size of each slice is determined by the percentage or fraction of the total value that the category represents.
Uses of Pie Charts
- Displaying proportions and percentages.
- Comparing different categories within a dataset.
- Visualizing market shares, survey results, or budget distributions.
Advantages of Pie Charts:
- Simple and easy to understand.
- Provides a quick overview of how data is divided.
- Useful for showing relative sizes of categories.
Disadvantages of Pie Charts:
- Difficult to interpret with too many categories.
- Cannot show detailed or complex data relationships.
- Comparisons between slices can be imprecise.
Common Variations:
- 3D Pie Chart â Adds depth for visual appeal.
- Doughnut Chart â Similar to a pie chart but with a hole in the center.
- Exploded Pie Chart â Highlights a specific slice by separating it from the main chart.
Pie charts are best used when you want to emphasize proportions and simple comparisons, but they may not be suitable for displaying large datasets or precise differences.
