This example produces two pie charts that show total sales for three sites by charting the values of the character variable SITE and calculating the sum of the variable SALES for each site. It represents the statistics as slices of the pie. By default, the midpoint value and the summary statistic are printed beside each slice.

The pie slices use the default pattern fill, which is solid. Because a colors list is specified in the GOPTIONS statement, the default solid patterns rotate through the colors in the list, beginning with the first color, blue. Each slice displays a different color because, by default, pie charts are patterned by midpoint. Because the default outline color is also the first color in the list, the example uses the COUTLINE= option to assign black to the outlines.

The second pie chart is a 3D pie chart with an exploded slice, as shown in the following output.
