🎩🔍 Ah, yes, a riveting tale of a 200-year-old "bad boy" who single-handedly disrupted the world with... bar charts? 🤔 Because nothing screams rebel like a horizontal axis. Meanwhile, modern data analysts are left wondering if they too can achieve legendary status by inventing the pie chart. 🍰

#statstab #261 Visualizing proportions: A case for pie charts

> ... useful piece of advice: never, ever, ever use pie charts. Pie charts are the evil instrument that politicians and business people use to cheat on us, to make us believe that a product or a political party is better than that of the competitors. If you want to be honest, stay away from pie charts.

@drazraeltod Balken auf logarithmischen Skalen sind ungefähr so verwirrend wie #Piecharts.

#ScifiVsReality Pie charts are among the most popular graphics, but most experts avoid #PieCharts. Why? Small percentages are quickly misrepresented and challenging to read. For colour-blind people, the chart is almost impossible to interpret. #Scifi https://buff.ly/2Z9E8IZ

Suddenly, folks are interested in Pie Charts.

> Cleveland examined how accurately our visual system can process visual elements or “perceptual units” representing underlying data. These elements include markers aligned on the same scale (e.g., #DotPlots, #ScatterPlots, ordinary #BarCharts), the length of lines that are not aligned on the same scale (e.g., stacked bar plots), area (#PieCharts and mosaic plots), angles (also pie charts), shading/color, volume, curvature, and direction...

> The results are resoundingly clear—judgements about position relative to a baseline are dramatically more accurate than judgements about angles, area, or length (with no baseline). Hence.. [#Cleveland] suggests that we replace #PieCharts with #BarCharts or #DotPlots and that we substitute stacked bar charts for grouped bar charts.
