Advantages of Donut Charts in Data Visualization:

• Visual Appeal: Donut charts offer a visually appealing and engaging way to present data. The circular shape with its ring segments captures attention and can make data more interesting and memorable for viewers.

• Efficient Use of Space: Donut charts utilize space efficiently by incorporating an empty centre. This allows for better utilization of the chart area while still conveying data proportions effectively.
• Proportional Representation: The size of each ring segment corresponds to the relative value it represents, making it easy to compare and understand the relationships between different categories.
• Data Context: Donut charts maintain the context of the overall dataset by displaying the total value in the centre. This provides a reference point and enables viewers to comprehend the proportions within the larger dataset.
• Easy Interpretation: Viewers can quickly grasp the relative sizes and proportions of the different categories, making it accessible for a wide range of audiences.
• Clarity of Labels: Donut charts provide ample space for labels, allowing for clear and concise representation of each category. Labels can be placed either inside or outside the ring segments, ensuring readability without cluttering the chart.
