Understanding Pie Charts: "

Chocolate Pie Chart

From: http://eagereyes.org/techniques/pie-charts

A little-known alternative to the round pie chart is the square pie or waffle chart. It consists of a square that is divided into 10x10 cells, making it possible to read values precisely down to a single percent.

The example: women and girls in IT and computing-related fields.

Moreover, a pill’s shape, size, branding, and price all influence its effects on the body. Soothing blue capsules make more effective tranquilizers than angry red ones, except among Italian men, for whom the color blue is associated with their national soccer team [...]“
