MultiVariate Pie Chart

The MultiVariate Pie Chart enables side-by-side comparison of multiple pie charts, each representing the distribution of values for a particular dimension. Useful when you need to visually compare categorical distributions for multiple categories or segments simultaneously.

Key Features:

  • Supports up to 10 categorical dimensions, each represented by an individual pie chart.
  • Configurable grid layout: number of rows, columns, gaps, and positioning.
  • Customizable label formatting, position, orientation, and visibility.
  • Option for rose charts (area or radius mode).
  • Full control over radius, rotation, and inner radius (for donut style).
  • Optional per-series custom color and box shadow effects.

Use Cases:

  • Comparing category distributions across different segments.
  • Multi-panel categorical breakdowns for marketing, survey, or demographic data.
  • Visually identifying distribution patterns and outliers.
