Pie Charts are inserted like any other plot in FCS Express (see below). In FCS Express 5, Pie Charts may be created easily by drag and drop, or from an existing Custom Data Grid.

 

To insert a blank Pie Chart to populate by drag and drop:

 

1. Click the Insert tab→1D Plots→Pie command (Figure 11.14).
2. Click on a blank space of the layout to insert the Pie Chart.

 

An empty Pie Chart will appear, to which you can drag and drop any statistic in FCS Express to populate the pie.  Note: if a Custom Data Grid exists in your layout, the inserted Pie Chart will be populated with its data.  Simply insert another Pie Chart to create an empty Pie Chart for receiving the dragged and dropped items.  The first Pie Chart may be deleted, if desired.

 

To insert a Pie Chart:

 

1. Select a Custom Data Grid in the Layout.
2. Click the Insert tab→1D Plots→Pie command (Figure 11.15).
3. Click on a blank space of the layout to insert the Pie Chart.

 

Alternatively:

1. Drag a Custom Data Grid from the Data Navigator to an empty part of the page.
2. Release the mouse button.
3. Select Pie from the Select Plot Types… dialog.

 

In both cases, a new Pie Chart will appear on the layout that is populated with the data from the Custom Data Grid. The Pie Chart may now be populated with the desired parameters and formatted as you wish.
