Pie Chart Widget

This page describes specific settings for the Pie Chart widget. Note that generic widget settings are described on the Widget Generic Settings page, so if you cannot find the setting you are looking for check there too. It is good practice to design your charts to be as accessible as possible.

Pie & Segments

Doughnut hole size

Choose the size for the hole if you wish your pie to use a doughnut style.

Degrees of arc

Choose the degrees of arc for the pie chart e.g. 180 will give you a semi-circle rather than a full circle.

Group small segments at

Choose a threshold at which data will be grouped into a single segment. This can be used to avoid barely visible segments or slivers in the chart.

Group small segments label

Type the text label that will be displayed (in the legend) for the group small segments class of the chart.

Group small segments color

Choose the color that will be displayed (in the legend) for the group small segments class of the chart.

Segment labels

Choose whether to show segment labels and if so whether these should be inside or outside of the segments.

Series

There is no longer a Series type setting for Pie Charts (as is the case for other chart widgets) as this caused confusion. The rules are:

  • include all areas = true => one “pie” per indicator and each segment corresponds to a feature
  • include all areas = false => one “pie” per feature (i.e. if you use show comparisons = true) and each segment corresponds to an indicator
