Separating Individual Wedges from a Pie Chart
To make pie wedges more visually prominent, you can separate them from the pie.
Separate a pie wedge by
using the Explode slider.
Here are ways to separate individual pie wedges:
To move a single wedge away from the center of a 2D or 3D pie chart, select it and
m
then drag it or drag the Explode slider in the Chart inspector.
To move multiple wedges away from the center of a 2D or 3D pie chart, hold down the
m
Shift or Command key while selecting the wedges you want, and then drag them or
drag the Explode slider in the Chart inspector.
To separate all the wedges away from the center of a 3D pie chart, select the chart
m
before dragging the Explode slider in the Chart inspector.
Adding Shadows to Pie Charts and Wedges
You can put shadows on individual pie wedges or on the pie as a whole. Putting
shadows on individual wedges makes it look as if the wedges are on different layers, so
when you add a shadow to a pie wedge, it’s generally a good idea to separate it first.
To add shadows:
1 Select the chart or individual pie wedges. Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click
the Chart inspector button. Do one of the following:
 To add shadows to individually selected wedges, choose Individual from the Shadow
pop-up menu.
 To add a shadow to the chart as a whole, choose Group from the Shadow
pop-up menu.
2 To set shadow attributes, use the Graphic inspector.
See “Adding Shadows” on page 98 for instructions.
Rotating 2D Pie Charts
You can use various techniques for rotating a 2D pie chart.
