Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-layer pie chart?
A multi-layer pie chart is a circular visualization with concentric ring segments representing data at multiple levels. Also called nested pie charts or donut charts, they show proportional relationships within a hierarchical or categorical dataset. The inner radius creates the layered ring effect.
How do I make a multi-layer pie chart?
In MakeCharts, enter your data segments, then adjust the inner radius in the general settings to create the ring/donut layer effect. You can also add 3D depth and adjust outer radius to control the overall size and proportions of each ring layer.
What is the difference between a pie chart and a multi-layer pie chart?
A standard pie chart has no inner hole — it's a solid circle divided into slices. A multi-layer or nested pie chart uses a non-zero inner radius to create one or more concentric rings. This allows you to show additional data layers within the same chart space.
Can I create a donut chart with this tool?
Yes. Setting the inner radius in MakeCharts creates a donut/ring chart, which is a common type of multi-layer pie chart. You can control exactly how thick or thin the ring appears by adjusting both the inner and outer radius values.
Is the multi-layer pie chart maker free?
Yes. MakeCharts is free to use with no sign-up required. All radius controls, 3D settings, and export options are available at no cost. Pro plans offer CSV upload and more AI chart generation credits.
