Frequently asked questions
Is a donut chart better than a pie chart?
They show the same information. A donut chart is often easier to compare by arc length and leaves room for a total in the middle.
Can I show percentages instead of amounts?
Percentages are calculated automatically and shown on each segment that is large enough to label.
What happens to zero values?
Rows with zero or negative values are not drawn, because they have no share of the total.
