FAQ
Donut Chart Maker questions
- What is the difference between a donut chart and a pie chart?
- They encode the same information. A donut chart removes the centre, which reduces the “compare the angles” problem slightly and gives you space for a total or label in the middle.
- Can I change the thickness of the ring?
- Yes, the inner radius is adjustable, so you can go from a thin ring to an almost-full pie.
- Can I show percentages instead of raw values?
- Yes. Toggle the label mode to switch between values, percentages or both.
