When a Mermaid pie chart is enough

Use a pie chart when a small number of labelled slices add up to something meaningful — a traffic split, a cost breakdown, or a simple share-of-total view.

  • Labelled slices with numeric values
  • Title at the top
  • Good for high-level framing

When to pick a different chart

If you have more than six slices or need to compare trends over time, pick a different chart type. Pie charts are best when the reader needs the overall shape in one glance.

Keep labels short

Short slice labels keep the chart readable in a deck. Long labels overflow and force the reader to look up the legend.

FAQ

Mermaid pie chart editor — frequently asked questions

When is a Mermaid pie chart enough?

Pie charts work when a small number of named slices add up to a meaningful total — traffic splits, cost breakdowns, simple share-of-total views.

How many slices fit comfortably in one chart?

Six or fewer slices usually read best. With more categories, a bar or sankey diagram communicates the differences more clearly.

Can I set a title on a pie chart?

Yes. Start the block with `pie title Your title here` and the title stays at the top of the rendered chart.
