Description

@MarkusNeusinger

Plot Request

A basic pie chart to visualize proportions and percentages of categorical data.

Use Cases

  • Market share distribution
  • Budget allocation breakdown
  • Survey response percentages
  • Composition of a whole

Expected Features

  • Circular chart divided into slices
  • Each slice represents a category's proportion
  • Labels showing category names
  • Percentage values displayed
  • Clear legend
  • Title support

Sample Data Suggestion

Simple categorical data with 4-6 categories and their values, e.g.:

  • Category A: 35%
  • Category B: 25%
  • Category C: 20%
  • Category D: 15%
  • Category E: 5%

Notes

This is the most fundamental pie chart visualization. Should work as a baseline for more advanced variants like donut charts, exploded pie charts, etc.
