Polar chart – LaTeX Cookbook

Pie charts are popular for showing proportions. A pie chart’s main characteristic is that all items usually sum up to 100 percent.

We will use the pgf-pie package. The polar option changes the layout so that the slices get equal angles but the radius represents the size. We add the explode and text=legend options.

Full explanation in Chapter 9, Creating Graphics: Drawing a pie chart
