That's not a hyperbolic plane. It's more like a cone, but with more than 360 degrees instead of less. I don't know the proper term for it. It has curvature zero everywhere except the center, which is a singularity. [[User:DanielLC|DanielLC]] ([[User talk:DanielLC|talk]]) 19:00, 10 August 2018 (UTC) | That's not a hyperbolic plane.

Any explanation of the title text? An example of the clipart would be great. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.47.54|172.68.47.54]] 00:26, 11 August 2018 (UTC) | Any explanation of the title text?

Edward Tufte gives the pie chart a more succinct and decisive treatment in "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information": | Edward Tufte gives the pie chart a more succinct and decisive treatment in "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information": | ||
''A table is nearly always better than a dumb pie chart; the only worse design than a pie chart is several of them, for then the viewer is asked to compare quantities located in spatial disarray both within and between charts [...] Given their low density and failure to order numbers along a visual dimension, pie charts should never be used.''
