The Ring Plot

A ring plot is a visual way to display part-to-whole relationships, similar to a pie chart but with ring-shaped segments. It shows how different categories contribute to a total, using concentric circles or rings where each segment’s size reflects its proportion. This makes it easy to compare multiple categories simultaneously and see their relative importance at a glance. Typically used in data analysis and presentations, ring plots help communicate complex data clearly, highlighting how parts relate to the whole without overwhelming the viewer with too much detail.
