# WPF FlexPie

Pie charts are generally used to represent size of items in a series as a percentage of the entire pie. Ideally, the Pie Chart is to be used when you want to plot only one series comprising non-zero and positive values. And the number of categories are not more than seven.

The arc length of each slice represents the value of that specific slice.

The multi-colored slices make pie charts easy to understand, and usually the value represented by each slice is displayed with the help of labels.
