Abstract: A method and apparatus for graphically displaying data is presented. A computer system selects a section from a group of sections in a circular chart for the data that is to be graphically displayed on a display system. The computer system identifies a largest size for a polygon that will fit in the section of the circular chart. The computer system also identifies text for the section. Further, the computer system displays the circular chart with the text in the section on a display system when the text fits within the polygon in the section. Graphically displaying the data with the text in the circular chart enables a desired level of comprehension of the data.
