# Pie & Donut Charts {% tabs %} {% tab title="Pie" %} ## Pie chart #### **Chart setup to build a pie chart:** | Configuration option | Configuration value | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Axis** | Drag the dimension to plot on the axis (e.g., Sub Category). | | **Values parameter** | Drag the measure to analyze (e.g., Actuals). | | **Chart type** | Select **Pie** from the Pie/donut section of the Chart Type dropdown menu. | > Pie charts visually show the proportions of various categories, making it simple to grasp their relative sizes. No explicit measure setup is necessary. Accepts only one measure.

### **1. Customization & formatting under Canvas settings** #### **1.1. Pie or donut type** You can select whether to have a full circle or a semi-circle chart.

#### **1.2. Semi circle orientation** When you select the semi-circle option, you can additionally specify the chart orientation.

The different orientations are shown here.

You can also specify a custom angle.

Custom orientation for semi circular pie charts

#### **1.3. Pad radius** You can add padding between the different categories by specifying a pad radius.

#### **1.4. Corner radius** You can display rounded corners by specifying a corner radius value.

#### **1.5. Pie explosion** Spotlight specific categories in your pie chart, like the top-performing region, a critical segment, or an outlier, with the exploded slice option. Enable the **Pie Explosion** toggle - for each category, you will be able to specify in pixels how far each slice pops out from the pie for better emphasis.

### **2. Data label settings for pie charts** #### **2.1. Label display** You can choose to display the category names outside the pie chart.

You can also display the proportions of each category using the Size option. * **Size type:** You can display the contribution of each category as a percentage or the actual value. We have displayed both. * **Size value position:** You can display the value inside or outside the pie chart. * **Size percentage position:** You can display the percentage contribution inside or outside the pie chart.

#### **2.2. Image category** You can make your pie charts more engaging by adding images. Add the image URL field to the **Tooltip Text Categories** visual parameter. You can then select the field from the Image Category dropdown. * **Image position:** You can display images inside the pie chart or outside. * **Image size:** You can adjust the size of the image.

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Donut" %} ## **Donut chart** #### **Chart setup to build a donut chart:** | Configuration option | Configuration value | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Axis** | Drag the dimension to plot on the axis (e.g., Sub Region). | | **Values parameter** | Drag the measure to analyze (e.g., Actuals). | | **Chart type** | Select **Donut** from the Pie/donut section of the Chart Type dropdown menu. | > Donut charts visually represent the proportions of different categories, making it easy to understand their relative sizes. Explicit measure configuration is not required. Accepts only one measure.

The canvas and data label settings for donut charts are identical to those of pie charts. Refer to the pie charts tab for details. Donut charts have one additional setting to adjust the inner radius.

### Data label settings for donut charts #### 1. Measure The total value displayed in the center of the donut chart will be calculated based on the measure selected from the dropdown. Tooltip measures can also be used to calculate totals.

#### 2. Display Choose to display the label, in this case, 'Total', and the value, or both.

#### 3. Total text Customize the text displayed with the total value - in this example, we've changed the default 'Total' to 'Cumulative Profit'.

Explicit measure configuration is not required. The radius and size of each slice are used to represent the contributions of each measure.

When you split a variable pie chart, Analytics+ generates 2 pie charts corresponding to each measure.

The canvas and data label settings for donut charts are identical to those of pie charts.
