#### 1. Pie chart

A **pie chart** is a circular chart divided into slices, each representing a proportion of the whole. Each slice’s size is proportional to the quantity it represents.

**Use cases:**

- Showing proportions of categories
- Visualizing part-to-whole relationships
- Comparing relative sizes of data segments

**Common data to use in an assessment:**

- Survey response distribution
- Departmental budget allocation
- Breakdown of assessment results by category

You can drop categories, teams etc on to the chart to see the distribution.

In the pie chart settings, you can select to **Show value** as **percentage.**

![values percentage](https://help.pointerpro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/values%20percentage.png?width=500&height=394&name=values%20percentage.png)

In the **Legend** section you can adjust the position of the legends.

#### 2. Donut chart

A **donut chart** is similar to a pie chart but with a hole in the center. This format allows for additional information or labels to be placed in the middle.

**Use cases:**

- Displaying proportions with an added central label
- Highlighting key metrics in the center
- Comparing parts of a whole with a modern look

**Common data to use in an assessment:**

- Distribution of responses by type
- Performance metrics by category
- Allocation of resources by department

#### 3. Semi circle pie chart

A **semi circle pie chart** is a variation of the pie chart where only half of the circle is used. It represents proportions similarly but offers a different visual style.

**Use cases:**

- Highlighting key parts of a whole in a unique format
- Making space for additional information above the chart
- Comparing fewer categories with clarity

**Common data to use in an assessment:**

- Breakdown of assessment results
- Division of project resources
- Percentage of completion by phase

You can add **Rounded corners** in the chart depending on your preference.

#### 4. Semi circle donut chart

A **semi circle donut chart** is a variation of the donut chart, utilizing half of a circle with a central hole. It combines the features of both a semi circle pie and a donut chart.

**Use cases:**

- Displaying proportions with an additional label space in the center
- Providing a clear and distinct visual comparison
- Enhancing visual appeal while showing part-to-whole relationships

**Common data to use in an assessment:**

- Allocation of tasks by team
- Survey response distribution
- Comparison of assessment results by category
