Generating Pie Plot and Doughnut Plot Graphs

Pie plot and doughnut plot graphs are circular charts that show the relative value of portions of a whole quantity.

NOTE: ProDiver displays up to 16 values in a pie plot or doughnut plot graph. If there are more than 16 values in the column that you are graphing, the graph shows the first 15 values, and the remaining values are grouped together in a section called Other. ClosedExample

Pie graph

IMPORTANT: If your data includes positive and negative numbers, ProDiver converts them to absolute values before the generating the pie chart.

TIP: By default, ProDiver assigns pie plot colors to dimension values in the order that the values are listed in the cBase. If there are more than 16 values, the colors repeat, even though the pie plot shows only the first 15 discrete values. These color assignments do not change if the data is sorted. Therefore, sorting data can cause duplicate colors on the pie chart if the Link Colors to Discrete Data Values check box is selected on the Graph Options, Appearance tab.

To convert the contents of an active dive window to a pie plot or doughnut plot graph:

  1. On the toolbar, click the Graph iconGraph icon..

    The Select Graph Type Closeddialog box opens. This is the first step in a graph creation wizard.

    TIP: Click a graph type to see a description in the Description box.

    Graph Types window.

  2. Double-click the pie plot graph type that you want to create.

    The Set Data Attributes Closeddialog box opens.

    Set Data Attributes dialog box example.

  3. Select the summary column that you want to use for the graph from the Column list.
  4. If you want to further customize the graph, click Graph Options. Otherwise, click Finish to view the graph.
