Any numerical data showing percentage (share) of different elements (segments) of a whole (the disk - the pie). For example, the pie can have three slices of different sizes with respect to shares of audience of a TV program or a public figure: one slice will show how many peopled surveyed in a poll like it or him/her, another one how many dislike, and yet a third one how many do not know it or him/her, or decline to say their viewpoint. Alternetively, it can show different sources of income of a person, a family, or a legal entity. There can be any number of slices - as many as parts of a whole totalling up to 100 per cent. Pie charts and other diagrams can be automatically generated by office software from numerical input.
