A waffle chart (also known as a "square pie chart") is a type of data visualization that presents quantities as proportions of a rectangular grid.

Description

A waffle chart (also known as a "square pie chart") is a type of data visualization that presents quantities as proportions of a rectangular grid. This method of presentation can be better at presenting proportional data than a standard pie chart, as the grid structure helps viewers compare the proportion of each category more precisely.

Tools for producing waffle charts exist for programming languages/packages such as , , and . This tag should be used for any questions involving the formatting and/or implementation of these plots.

Implementations

PyWaffle, for Python

The waffle package for R
