There are some people that do not particularly fancy sweets, like myself (I know, odd). However, I am talking about pie charts.
I feel like there are TONS of articles about pie charts, and most of them side against using them. Experts like Edward Tufte and Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic included. I have seen many reasons, some favorites; humans are bad at reading angles, they are boring, they are the Comic Sans of data visualization. 🤭
I enjoyed reading this article today on Medium: 5 Unusual Alternatives to Pie Charts.
