Pie charts can be a bit tricky in Penpot because you have to do the calculations for value = angle yourself. It’s not as simple as apps designed for presenting data where you just enter in the data and then the app does the work.

But it’s totally doable! I recently made a sales dashboard UI example that uses pie charts and has a few pie chart components (see below). You can [download the template directly from this link](https://github.com/penpot/penpot-files/raw/main/sales-dashboard-example-template.penpot) or find it in the [Libraries & Templates collection](https://penpot.app/libraries-templates).
