Let's take a look at another small change
in the new Numbers version 4.1.
This has to do specifically with pie charts.
So here we've got a typical table that we
might want to use as a pie chart.
I'm going to select everything here so I can
create a pie chart from these sale numbers.
I'm going to go to Chart, and select Pie Chart.
There's my chart and it pretty much looks
the same as before.
I can choose different styles here on the
right.
All sorts of different things.
But, the new feature is something if you look
under Wedges, and I still want everything
selected not an individual wedge but just
everything, I can now choose Leader Lines.
Now we don't see any difference now because
the distance from center for these labels
is less than 100%.
So it's inside the pie chart.
If I move outside the pie chart you'll see
the lines actually form right here.
Before it looked like this so you wanted to
keep everything kind of close in there.
But now with leader lines you can actually
use these lines here and you have lots of
options as you can see.
The main one is the style which is either
straight out or angled.
You can see the angled version looks rather
nice and dignified.
Either way we get to choose the type of lines.
So you can do dash line.
There we go dash line.
We can do dotted line or solid.
We can choose the color of the line.
We can choose the thickness of the line.
We can also choose end points.
So we can have like arrows that point in or,
you know, something on the outside.
We can have it done anyway we want.
In addition, if we did wedges that were out
you can see it moves the lines out there.
So you can set this on a per wedge basis.
If I click in here to just change this here
I can move this line further out and maybe
make it a thicker line there or change it's
color.
All sorts of things.
But I can't actually change the style.
I have to have just either the straight or
angled for all of them at once.
So you get to do that.
You also get to do, if I select the entire
thing again, you can see I can use the data
point names as well as values.
So I have an actual column here that has names
and now I get to see things like oranges and
peaches and everything in there.
If I turn off the legend now you can see it
looks pretty nice there.
So I can do angled and maybe something a little
closer in.
Notice that since now this is different I
if change it, it will reset it to all of them.
So a nice addition there for pie charts.
It makes them look a lot nicer.
A lot more professional and just something
in general that you should know about in the
new version of Numbers.
