Juice Analytics has an interesting article on pie charts and how they can sometimes break the basic rules of data visualization. There are some interesting points worth noting. I’ve personally always been a fan of line graphs and bar graphs, though pie charts have there times.
Editors' Note:
Thanks for visiting! Unfortunately, Solution Watch has been inactive for more than a year now. I have no intention of taking the site down and hope to come back to it when the time becomes available. Until then, you can find me on Twitter or at Parallel, where I work. Thanks everyone for your patience and support!
