Donut charts
Introduction
Donut charts can be used to compare the relative proportions of a certain metric within a category. The data in a donut chart is displayed in slices that form a circular graph. Each slice of the donut is relative to the size of the category used for the chart. The entire chart represents the total (number or 100%) of the category, while each slice represents a part of the total. The hole in the center of the donut chart shows the total value of a different metric to provide a context for the main metric. The following illustration shows an example of a donut chart.
A legend is automatically generated for a donut chart.
Properties
You can edit the properties of a donut chart in the Edit donut chart panel.

Maximum number of slices
A donut chart displays up to six slices. If the data consists of more than five slices for the selected category, a sixth slice is displayed representing the combined total of the remaining categories that are not displayed individually.
The purpose of the sixth slice is to provide a complete picture of the data distribution, when not all categories are displayed individually. It shows the proportion of the data that is not covered by the top 5 individual categories in comparison to the whole.
