"It wasn't until the late 18th and early 19th centuries that most of the graphs we use today were invented, applied, or dramatically improved by Scottish social scientist named William Playfair. Playfair invented the bar graph, was the first to use line graphs to represent change through time, and, on one of his off days, invented the pie chart"

Playfair ... on one of his off days, invented the pie chart

I wonder who and most importantly what made the inventions of donut, radar charts possible.

I'm not beefing. Personally, I see two sides on the pie charts.


Bad: Single dimensional, display only one value, etc., get crowded with more than values,

Good: Answer one question pretty well.

The Donut Chart was probably invented by a US Police Dep't.
