5 Questions
How should slices in a pie chart be organized to make it easier for the user to interpret?
Slices in a pie chart should be organized from the biggest to the smallest to make it easier for the user to interpret.
Why are three-dimensional pie charts difficult to read and misleading?
Three-dimensional pie charts are difficult to read and misleading because the interpretation of a pie chart relies on the area, arc length, and angle of each slice, and a three-dimensional representation tilts the pie and skews visual perception of its slices, making an accurate comparison nearly impossible.
How should the colors of the slices in a pie chart be used to help viewers interpret the data?
The colors of the slices should match their respective blocks in the legend, so that viewers do not need to consult the legend as much.
Why is the whole (or total of the quantitative values or slices) generally not listed within the pie chart?
The whole is generally not listed within the pie chart because it can be listed in the text near the chart, the table explaining specific data measurements, or as a separate BAN in another dashboard.
What factors should be considered when reading a pie chart?
When reading a pie chart, one must consider the area, arc length, and angle of every slice.
