Tortendiagramms

Tortendiagramm, also known as a pie chart, is a circular statistical graphic which is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. Each slice's arc length is proportional to the quantity it represents. In a tortendiagramm, the entire circle represents 100% of the data, and the slices represent the different categories or components of that data. The size of each slice visually communicates its share of the whole. This makes them particularly useful for showing how a whole is divided into parts. The angle of each sector is calculated by multiplying the proportion of the data by 360 degrees. For example, if a category represents 25% of the total, its corresponding slice in the tortendiagramm will have an angle of 90 degrees (0.25 * 360). While visually intuitive for simple comparisons of a few categories, tortendiagramms can become difficult to interpret when there are many slices or when the proportions are very similar. In such cases, other chart types like bar charts may be more effective. Tortendiagramms are commonly used in business, statistics, and everyday reporting to convey simple proportional relationships.
