Pie Charts
Pie charts are useful for highlighting proportions.
They use segments of a circle to show the relationship of parts to the whole. To highlight actual values, use another chart type, such as a stacked chart.
Pie charts plot a single data series. If you need to plot multiple data series, use a 100 percent stacked chart.
Reports in PDF or HTML format show a maximum of 16 pies or gauges per chart.
