And the series of data will be displayed in the form of a separate pie slice. It means if one data is big, it will take the most percentages of the whole data capacity, and the pie slice shows this data will display bigger degrees and areas than others.
Following snippet C# example codes show how to add two series of data into pie chart, you can also see more chart series settings in: how to set chart series element using C#.
Finishing inserting and adding data series, we are capable of setting each pie sector with different color to have better visual effects and let chart data seem more recognizable. Each pie slice can hold one type color, so the pie chart may look like colorful, and the legend can take the same color of the slice it descripted.
