Double Donut

This comprehensive guide will cover everything about Double Donut charts in Mokkup.

When to Use?

A double donut chart is a donut chart with two concentric rings. The inner ring shows the parent categories and the outer ring breaks each of those categories into its subcategories, so a whole, its parts, and the parts of those parts are all visible in a single element. It is the right choice when one level of grouping is not enough to tell the story.

A Double Donut is beneficial when:

• Showing a two-level hierarchy. Region and country, category and product line, or channel and campaign all read naturally as an inner and an outer ring.
• Comparing a part to both its group and the total. Each outer slice can be judged against its own inner segment and against the full circle at the same time.
• Space is limited. One double donut replaces two separate donut charts, which frees up canvas for other elements.
• The number of categories is small. Like any circular chart, it works best with a handful of parent categories and a few subcategories under each, too many slices become hard to distinguish.
• Explaining a breakdown to a non-technical audience. The nested rings make the drill-down from group to detail easy to follow without a table.

How to Create?

How to Customize?

Mokkup provides customization options for every element. These customization options are accessible via the left-hand navigation menu. The edit options are broken into 2 sections: Data and Customize.

Data

Anything related to the data populated in the chart can be found here.

1. Edit Data

• The dataset table has three columns — Category, Subcategory, and Value. Category drives the inner ring, Subcategory drives the outer ring, and Value sets the size of each outer slice.
• To group several subcategories under one parent, repeat the same Category name on each of their rows. The inner ring will combine them into a single segment automatically.
• Click '+' below the dataset table to add a new row. Once the row is added, fill in the Category, Subcategory, and Value, and the chart will reflect the new data.
• Click on '−' to remove any additional dataset rows.

Customize

This is the default tab that opens when an element is selected. All element customizations can be done in this tab. Each sub-section is explained below.

1. Details

Edit the basic chart details here.

• Title — Change the title of the chart here. Toggle off if not needed.
• Alignment — Adjust the title alignment to either the left, center, or right of the element.

2. Properties

Contains all the settings that play a role in the aesthetics of the chart.

• Inner Radius — Use the slider to increase or decrease the radius of the hollow centre. A larger inner radius makes both rings thinner.
• Outer Radius — Use the slider to increase or decrease the overall size of the chart within the element.
• Stroke Width — Use the slider to adjust the thickness of the divider between slices.
• Data Labels — Add or remove data labels from both rings by toggling on or off.
• Legends — Add or remove legends from the chart by toggling on or off. Change the position in which they appear by selecting one of the options in the 'Position' drop-down.

3. Add Ons

Contains additional elements that can be added to the chart.

Buttons:

• Switch on or off to add or remove buttons from the chart.
• Add multiple buttons by clicking 'Add Button'.
• Adjust their alignment to either the left, center, or right of the element using 'Alignment'.
• Edit the button's content by clicking on the 'Title 1' text in this menu.
• Delete any button by clicking the 'trash' icon near the name of the button.
