The pie chart can be useful when the number of data points in the plotted vector is limited and when it is desirable to illustrate constitutional data.

Pie Chart settings:

Data range: Specifies which vector of the selected matrix should be plotted.

Color: Changes the coloring of the pie chart. Available options are [FIXED]; the same color is used for the entire plot, [INDEX]; the indices for the plotted vector are used for the coloring, [VALUE]; the values of the plotted are used for the coloring, [CATEGORY]; Depending on the type of the plotted vector, either an observation category or a variable category is used for the coloring.

Label: Changes the labeling of the pie chart. Available options are [NONE]; No labels are used, [INDEX]; the indices of the plotted vector are used as labels, [IDENTIFIER]; the identifiers of the plotted vector are used as labels, [VALUE]; the values of the plotted vector are used as labels, [CATEGORY]; Depending on the type of plotted vector, either an observation category or a variable category is used as label. The user can also specify the font size for the labels in the box below the combo-box.

Comment: Options available are [NONE], [CUSTOM] and [CATEGORY]. With [CUSTOM] the user can enter a custom comment using the advanced settings. The custom comment will be shown in the tooltip box that appears when the mouse pointer hovers above a data point. The comment is also shown in any text box created from the table toolbar. When [CATEGORY] is selected the tooltip will contain either an observation category or a variable category depending on the type of plotted vector.
