Create pie chart images for each line of a data table

[#1]

Hi all,

I have a data table with say  6 columns, one identifies the sample site, 2 are X and Y coordinates of that site and the last 3 are the relative abundance of say 3 different species at that location. I simply want a map where each site is shown as a pie chart describing the relative abundance of the 3 species. It seems like an easy problem but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I presume I need first to create an image column with the pie chart images in it and then use that column as markers?

Thanks in advance, Yves

Hi @yvesprairie ,

not too complicated I'd say.

What you need is:

1. Create the Pie Chart (without any filtering)

2. Create the Geographic Map Chart

3. Right Click a data point in the Geographic Map Chart and add a Hover Label

The Result is a Map with Labels showing the relative abundance of your variable (species) per location (Sweet benefit is that these Hover Labels are actual Graphs themselves, so you can drill down into a specific location by clicking on it):

How to do this:

1. Create Pie Chart in Graph Builder. You might need to stack you data first:

2. Once you created the Pie Chart, go to the Red Triangle > Save Script > To Clipboard

3. Create the Map Graph, right-click a data point and add the Hover Label via 'Hover Label' > 'Paste Graphlet'

Note: 'Paste Graphlet' only appears if you have copied a script to the clipboard before.

Hope that helps.

Best

Fantastic, thank you very much Florian. How difficult would it be to now have the "pies" as markers instead of having them popup when one hovers over a point? This would be nice to produce a static map with all the information.

Thanks again, Yves

Even that is possible, @yvesprairie .

Steps you can achieve this are:

1. Create a Column of Graphs

2. Create the Graph

3. Select the Graph Column as the Symbols

Here's a way:

1. You can make a Graph into a Data Table. Here, I created the Pie Chart and used the Wrap field to have one per City:

2. The Table is just containing the label and the graph in two columns. So you need to join it with your inital table (Table > Join)

3. Create the Graph and select the Graph Column as Symbols

Result:

In my example here the graphs are a bit small as Icons, so you might need to adjust the graphs size a bit.

Thank you again Florian. No wonder I love JMP! Yves
