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.

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.
