In order to accentuate certain data values, slices of the
pie can be broken out. NExS allows you to do this in a
manner similar to how you broke a line of data in a line
graph.
To remove a slice of the pie:
- Modify the data in your spreadsheet by inserting rows
as follows:
| A | B |
1 | cars | 10000 |
2 | boats | 2000 |
3 | | |
4 | planes | 6000 |
5 | trains | 1000 |
6 | | |
7 | bicycles | 600 |
| | |
- Select the range A1..B7. The columns should now be
highlighted.
- Select New Graph and Pie Graph from the Graph menu.
NExS will display a new pie chart showing that the
pie slices for ``planes'' and ``trains'' have been broken
out of the pie as a contiguous piece as shown in
Figure 13.13.

In general, just about any options you could use with bar
graphs are usable with pie charts.
