Pie charts normally show the relation between a single dimension and a single expression, but can sometimes have two dimensions.
Pie Chart: Object Menu
The object menu can
be opened as a context menu by right-clicking on a sheet object, or by clicking the 
icon in the object caption (if shown).
The commands in the menu may vary depending on whether WebView is used from inside QlikView or opening the document in a web browser. The menu contains the following commands:
| Command | Details |
|---|---|
| Properties... |
Opens the Properties dialog for the active sheet object. |
| Notes |
Allows creating and sharing notes about the current object. |
| Detach | The chart title is appended with the text “(Detached)” and the chart is no longer updated with selections made in the document (though selections may actually still be made from the chart). The command is available only if the chart is attached. By making a copy of a chart and detaching it, you may make direct comparisons between the copy and the original. |
| Attach | Attaches a detached chart. The chart becomes dynamically linked to the data. The command is available only if the chart is detached. |
| Set Reference | This option sets a chart reference, such as a fixed plot of the chart with the current selections. When further selections are made in the document the reference plot remains, dimmed in the background. Chart axes will be adjusted to always include the maximum of the background data set and the current data set. The current data set is always plotted on top of the reference plot. Some portions of the reference plot may be obscured by the current data set plot. The display of reference chart plots is only possible in some chart types, such as bar charts, line charts, combo charts, radar charts, scatter charts, grid charts and gauge charts with needles. It is not possible to set a reference for a chart that contains a drill-down or a cyclic group. The reference will be lost when closing the document or when reloading data. The maximum number of objects that can be included when using the Set Reference option is 500. |
| Clear Reference | This command is replaced with the Set Reference command when a reference is set. By choosing it the previously set reference will be cleared and the chart will revert to normal plot mode. |
