There are a few ways to add your data to the pie chart maker. You can just type or copy-paste your data into an empty or dummy data sheet. You can also add a locally saved file. You can find more detailed information on how to manage data in the Datylon pie chart maker in our Help Center article.
Data binding is the mandatory step to connect the data as columns or rows to categories, serie, or data marks (e.g. pie chart slices). Make sure to check out our Help Center article to learn more about binding in our pie chart maker.
Every design, publication, and inspiration chart can be exported to SVG, PNG or PDF file.
A pie chart (pie graph or circular graph) visualizes a part-to-whole relationship. It shows how the data is divided into categories with a certain value (the slices), but it always keeps the link between the value of one category and the total sum of those categories (the pie).
This means that the slices should add up to a logical sum. If the data is in percentages, the total should round up to a hundred. If the data is in absolute values, for example in euros, the categories should form a meaningful total.
This relative approach of comparing a part to a whole is key to understanding how to use a pie chart. If the focus of the visualization is on comparing values between categories, it’s better to use another chart type.
A pie chart works best with only a few categories, otherwise, the chart becomes an unreadable clutter. It is also very suitable when one category is very big or very small compared to the other categories. But if the differences between the categories and thus between the slices are small and not easily recognizable, another chart - for example a bar chart - is much better suited.
