#Pie Chart

A pie chart shows how a whole divides into parts. kymo's editor reads the Mermaid pie syntax.

This page works like a quickstart: as you scroll, the pane on the right shows the source and the preview for the section you're reading. Copy grabs the source; ▶ Open in editor loads it into editor.kymo.studio (pick mermaid in the diagram-type dropdown when starting from scratch).

A pie source is just a header and one "label" : value line per slice. Values are positive numbers (up to two decimals); slices are drawn clockwise in source order, largest legend first.

#Title and showData

title after the pie keyword captions the chart; the showData flag also prints each slice's raw value next to its percentage in the legend.

    "Potassium" : 50.05
    "Magnesium" : 10.01

Status. Pie chart previews on this page and in the editor use the Mermaid renderer; importing pie charts into kymo's own pipeline (native SVG/PNG/PDF rendering) is on the roadmap.
