What is a Donut Chart?

A donut chart is a type of data visualisation that represents information using a circular graph, similar to a pie chart, but with a hole in the centre. The circular shape is divided into segments, each representing a portion or percentage of a whole. The size of each segment corresponds to the proportion of the total value it represents.

You can find Donut Charts within the following pages in TRAC:
