The slices become arcs around a ring, and the empty middle has room for a total or a label. The pie’s rules still apply: few slices, one whole, one clear comparison. Avoid nesting rings inside rings, because the outer rings look bigger than they are.

Karsten, Charts and Graphs, 1923, p. 611). Also called: ring chart From: Pie chart Data as of 16:06 UTC on 20 Oct 2026 made withdbt Charts
