Make Pie Slices to Any Size in Xara

by Gary Bouton



You are asked to design a pie chart, and your jaw drops to the floor. Pick it up now and watch this month’s video tutorial where Gary Bouton shows you how to make a pie wedge to exactly any number of degrees. It’s more simple than you’d think and Gary even offers you the math to convert degrees of a circle to percentages, 90 degrees equals 25 percent, you know? It’s fast and fun, and the pie slices are non-caloric. Learning is a piece of cake with this pie tutorial!

So watch the video, grab the resource files and slice up some data and show us your best pies in this thread.

...and if you're not into pies, it only takes marginally more effort and skill to create a duck chart:



Happy Holidays!

I like that.
Wish I'd thought of it!

Been quit busy lately, but, just watched the tutorial video.

It's EXCELLENT. Thank you.

Hello, and thank you for this tutorial.

I permit to ask a question about it : how is it possible to solve the problem of each slice rotating around its own center, when having a multi-parts object to be extruded in Xara ? (An without having to group these parts of course, to keep a control of the edges).

Thank you very much

That's a good question Stephane. Maybe there's a way we can control the rotations better?
