The lesson is not to use pie charts, especially not 3D pie charts. Make a nice 2D bar chart. Um, Saul? The lesson is not to use pie charts, especially not 3D pie charts. Make a nice 2D bar chart.

Don't know if you can help. I write a weight loss blog and am after an application that will let me create a pie chart (yes, I know you hate them, I read the posts) that looks like a pie, pizza, chocolate cake, black forest gateau, anything like that, showing how much weight I've lost and how much I have to go, obviously as a % of the total I want to lose. Any suggestions? Thanks, Angie Hi Jon,

I love pie. Even my friend Dick has stated that Peltier Loves Pie. But not pie charts.

Which is kind of surprising, because I really do love pie. Why waste my time and a sheet of paper with that? Showing the data in table would be a better bet. I once had someone ask me to teach them to animate a pie chart. I refused on principal :) I am not a pie charts fan. Which is kind of surprising, because I really do love pie.
