How Pie Chart works

Create a portable pie- or donut-chart document from a category column and nonnegative numeric values in tool.io tabular data. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Pie chart document
The resulting pie chart document returned as an object.

Limitations and assumptions

  • A chart preserves the supplied values but can still mislead through unsuitable chart type, truncated axes, inconsistent scales, excessive categories, missing uncertainty, or inaccessible color choices.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Keep the underlying table available, label units and scales, and choose a chart form that matches the comparison. Add uncertainty intervals or annotations when the data supports them.
