Doughnut Chart Editorial & Usage Rules

Typical Use & Purpose

KPI Summary & Modern Proportions

Excellent for modern magazine layouts where center space holds an impactful summary figure ($1.2M Total) alongside category shares.

Not Ideal / Working

Avoid Micro Slices

Do not include more than 5 slices. Avoid tiny sub-2% slices that crowd the annular ring.

Editorial Tips

Publication Best Practices

Center Hole Transparency: Ensure center hole geometry is 100% vector transparent so background page colors pass through.
KPI Callout Contrast: Use bold document Paragraph Styles for center summary numbers.
Annular Thickness: Keep ring thickness between 30% and 50% of radius for balanced proportions.
