Join Diane Burns for an in-depth discussion in this video Animating infographics: Simple pie charts, part of InDesign: Creating Animations.
- One of the most common,…and dare I say beloved,…charts has to be the pie chart.…There are several different, simple animations…you can apply to pie charts…that will make them a lot more interesting to your audience.…All the techniques we're gonna look at in this video…assume that each wedge in your chart is separate.…One very easy way to create pie charts with separate wedges…is to create them in Illustrator using the Pie Graph Tool,…then, instead of placing the pie,…copy it and paste it into InDesign,…then you can ungroup the pie and you'll have separate wedges…for each wedge, just as we have here.…
That's the starting point.…When it comes to animation on pie charts…just about the easiest effect that you can add…is a simple fade in for each wedge.…Let's Preview this.…Wedge one, two, three,…four, five.…In this case I simply selected the wedges…in the order that I wanted them to animate…and applied Fade In.…Each wedge is named correctly,…so I can easily tell in the Timing panel…that they're in the correct order.…
