Both are identical, with the exception that the donut chart has a hole in the middle. ### 1. Adding the chart Let's start with an example below where we'll visualize the magnitude of *Actuals* of the categories using a circular chart. **Step 1:** We have added 'Category' and 'Sub Category' in the **Rows** field, and '2020 Actuals', '2021 Actuals' and '2022 Actuals' in the **Values (AC)** field in the visualization pane.

**Step 2:** Select the columns for which you want to insert the pie chart/donut chart. In the following image, the 'Actuals' columns have been selected. The chart options are enabled. From the **Bullet Chart** drop-down, select the **Pie Chart/Donut Chart**.

**Step 3:** The pie chart gets inserted as shown below.

You can see the **Customize** tab in the toolbar with the following chart customization options. ### 2. Customization options Inserting a pie chart/donut chart will open up the following configuration options. ### 2.1. Chart type Here you can change your current chart type. Inforiver offers two variants of circular charts: **Pie Charts** and **Donut Charts**.

### 2.2. Appearance Appearance let you change colors for each measure of the chart.

### 2.3. Show Label You can configure whether to show or hide data labels using this option. Data labels are not shown by default.

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.inforiver.com/working-with-inforiver/6.-working-with-charts/circular-charts.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
