Donut Chart
To create a Doughnut Chart widget that displays data in a circular format without a center, providing a clear visual representation of proportions and percentages within a dataset. It provides an easy way to understand how various data segments relate to each other or how categorical data is distributed.
Use Case: Energy Consumption by Department
A donut chart can represent the percentage of total energy consumption by different departments within an industrial facility. Each segment of the donut represents a department, with the size proportional to its energy usage. This visualization helps stakeholders understand which departments are the largest energy consumers and identify opportunities for energy-saving initiatives.
