A pie chart is the best choice for depicting components of a whole or frequencies of a single variable. It is easy to read and shows the proportion of each component or frequency in relation to the total. The other chart types mentioned are not ideal for this purpose. A bubble graph is more useful for showing the relationships between two or three variables, an area chart is better for showing trends over time, a stacked pie can be confusing to read and a geographic map or chart is more appropriate for showing spatial data.
