Pie Chart

Overview

A Pie Chart is a circular statistical graphic used to visually represent numerical proportions within a dataset. In a pie chart, the entire circle represents 100% of the data, and it is divided into slices, each of which corresponds to a proportionate part of the whole. The size of each slice is directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents, providing a clear visual comparison of different segments within the dataset.
