A pie chart is a circular graphical representation of data in which the data is divided into slices or sectors, with each slice representing a proportionate part of the whole. Pie charts are often used to show the composition of a whole, where each slice represents a part of the total, or to show the distribution of data into different categories.

When to go for Pie Chart visualization type

Pie charts are useful when there are relatively few categories or slices and when the data is presented as percentages or proportions. They are particularly effective for showing the relative sizes of different categories or parts.

​

Pie charts have some limitations as well. They can become difficult to read when there are too many slices, and it can be hard to compare the sizes of different slices. Additionally, it can be difficult to accurately determine the actual values of each slice from the visual representation alone.
