What is a Pie Chart?
Pie charts are designed to show how a whole is divided into parts. Each slice represents a proportion or percentage of the total, making them ideal for visualizing composition, distribution, and market share. Pie charts work best when you have a limited number of categories (typically 5-7) and want to emphasize the relative size of each segment compared to the whole.
The circular format of pie charts makes them intuitive for viewers to understand percentages and proportions. They're commonly used in business presentations to show budget allocation, revenue sources, market segments, and demographic breakdowns. While pie charts are excellent for showing parts of a whole, they become difficult to interpret when you have many categories or small differences between segments, making other chart types more appropriate in those scenarios.
