Waffle Chart by Vitara

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

Description

Also known as the "square pie chart", the waffle chart is a very useful visualization that helps display progress toward goals. This kind of chart is a relatively effective option when you want to add an interesting visualization to your dashboard without distorting the data or taking up too much dashboard real estate. Its ideal for displaying KPIs, percent contributions, and other simple distributions over a single dimension.
This chart improves the perception of represented information. The waffle chart is a chart in the shape of a square  with small squares inside the big square. It is used to show the percentage of a certain category compared to all the categories. The hart is a great alternative to the pie chart. Instead of using angle to represent parts of a whole, the square version uses, well, squares.
 
Vitaracharts offers Waffle charts in three options for custom markers: 

1. Grid Waffle
   
2. List Waffle
   
3. Block Waffle
   

 
Note: The example screenshot shows the % to total waffle chart with world population across different continents  but the square has been replaced with a custom marker of a human figure. The second shows a grid waffle represents the religious affiliation of the World’s population. View the image below for reference:
