I’m not sure if I understood what I was to elaborate on, so please direct me if I’m in the wrong.pd wrote:Could you elaborate on this? What additional information is or can be shown in those charts, compared to the normal pie charts?kess wrote:different radii for different sections give much more information at a glance, than having the same radius
In the “equal radii graph/pie chart” above the radius shows the total amount of production in general, while both the angles and the areas show the relative size between the different areas of production.pd wrote:
The “different radii graph/pie chart” offers more choiches on how to show the information. Two examples:
(1) The radii show the total amount of the different productions (the total production in general is indirectly shown through the sum or mean of all the different radii, depending on how the statistics are shown). The angles show the relative sizes of the different productions. The areas of the segments/pie pieces then show something I’m not really able to grasp.
(2) The areas show the amount the different productions. The angles or the radii show the relative amount of production.
Anyway, the main difference in using different radii is that more information, the amount of each production, can be shown. When using one radius for all segments only the general (total/mean) amount can be shown.
