Create pie chart using a set of numbers


Recommended Posts

Illustrator has a terrific pie chart tool. All you need to do is add some numbers to a text box and click create! It just figures out the angles you need automatically. Looks like Affinity Designer doesn't do that. I've looked through lots of tutorials and the authors seem to concentrate on pretty charts with nice colours but I haven't found one that says how to convert a set of numbers into a pie chart directly. Do I have to do my own calculations then convert them into degrees or is there an easier way?

The Affinity apps don’t have any charting capabilities yet, and if they ever do they’re most likely to be added to Affinity Publisher since it has a Table Tool for easy data entry.

It would be good if it were easier but you can at least let AD do the calculations for you.
