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

 

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

 

1. Click the Insert tabCharts→Pie command.

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 spreadsheet 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 from a spreadsheet:

 

1. Select a spreadsheet in the Layout.

2. Click the Insert tab→Charts→Pie command.

3. Click on a blank space of the layout to insert the Pie Chart.

 

Note: The spreadsheet should be formatted so the first column (A) contains the name of the series and the second column (B) contains the values to be plotted. If the data exists in different rows the Pie Chart may be formatted to select the appropriate columns of data.

 

 

 

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