# Bi-Variate Pie
The **BiVariate Pie Chart** visualizes category-wise distribution as pie slices, split across multiple grids based on a chosen dimension. It supports flexible label positioning, rose charts, border radii, and custom coloring per category.
**Key Features:**
- Multi-grid pie charts using **Split** dimension.
- Optional **rose chart** variations (`None`, `Radius`, `Area`).
- Per-category **custom colors** or palette-based coloring.
- Adjustable **label position**, orientation, and content.
- Configurable inner and outer radius for donut effects.
- Optional **start angle rotation** and clockwise settings.
- Grid layout with configurable **rows, columns, and gaps**.
- Rich tooltips and accessible ARIA support.
**Use Cases:**
- Comparing category-wise breakdowns across multiple regions, periods, or product types.
- Visualizing proportional data with advanced label and color controls.
- Building rose charts for cyclic or directional data insights.
- Pie charts with multi-panel layout for segmented analysis.

## ⚙️ Setup
1. Add a **BiVariate Pie Chart** widget from the chart library onto your designer workspace.
2. Select the chart.
3. Go to the [Widget Configuration](/insights-v8/guide-to-infoboard-designer/customize-panel/configure/) tab in the Customize panel.

5. Select the [Source](/insights-v8/guide-to-infoboard-designer/customize-panel/setup/#sources) which the chart will pull the data from the option.
6. Map:
- **[Measure](/studio-v8/datasources/measures-dimensions-and-hierarchies/)** — Numeric value for slice size.
- **[Dimension](/studio-v8/datasources/measures-dimensions-and-hierarchies/)** — Categorical dimension for pie slice labels.
- **[Split](/studio-v8/datasources/measures-dimensions-and-hierarchies/)** — Dimension to split data into multiple pie charts.
7. Optionally add a **Date** field for time-based filtering.
