The “pie chart” is also known as a “circle chart”, dividing the circular statistical graphic into sectors or sections to illustrate the numerical problems. Each sector denotes a proportionate part of the whole. To find out the composition of something, a pie chart works best at that time. In most cases, pie charts replace other graphs like bar graphs, line plots, histograms, etc.
- Select the Pie Chart on the Chart Type.
- Select what Chart Style you would like to display. Don't worry you can change this later if you decide it's not the right style.
- Choose the Data Source information that you would like displayed on the pie chart.
- Select the Budget Versions.
- Select the Generate Chart button.
- Chart Settings allows you to change the Chart Style, Size, Legend, Labels, and Chart Data.
- Select the edit pencil to change the Chart Title.
- The Data Source can also be edited on this page.
- Once you are finished editing the chart select Save Chart.
Each style will allow you to hover over the image and will display the fund, object, or department/division name and label choices.
Note: In the Chart Settings, you can set Alt Text (alternative text) to be read aloud to users by screen readers software. Alternative (Alt) Text is meant to convey the “why” of the chart and image as it relates to the content of a document or webpage.
- For existing charts, the alt text will populate with the chart name as a placeholder that can be revised at any time.
- For newly created charts we'll populate the chart type as the default placeholder.
