-| `startAngle` | `Number` | `-0.5 * Math.PI` | Starting angle to draw arcs for the first item in a dataset.
+| `startAngle` | `Number` | `0` | Starting angle to draw arcs for the first item in a dataset. In degrees, 0 is top.
 | `animation.animateRotate` | `Boolean` | `true` | If true, the chart will animate in with a rotation animation. This property is in the `options.animation` object.
 | `animation.animateScale` | `Boolean` | `true` | If true, will animate scaling the chart from the center outwards.
