  Good Charts
Pie charts are used to represent the distribution of the categorical components of a single variable.  Note that as a general rule, multivariate comparisons provide for more meaningful analysis than do single variable distributions and for this and other reasons pie charts should be rarely used, if at all.
Pie charts usually contain more ink than is necessary to display the data and the slices provide for a poor representation of the magnitude of the data points.
One common bar charting mistake is including the legend on the right-hand side of the plot area (shown in figure 12), placing the legend inside the plot area, as in figure 9, or horizontally under the table title (as in figure 11) maximizes the size of the area given over to displaying the data.

The percentages are encoded are "slices" of a pie, with the area corresponding to the percentage.
The pie chart needs one column of text, for labeling slices, and at least one numeric column for slice values.

 Pie chart spacing problem for small values in CFCHART (Tom Mollerus' Weblog)
Built-in charting capability is definitely one of the great conveniences of using ColdFusion over other languages (although I'd argue that Google's Chart API, which lets any developer call custom charts through a REST API, is eroding that advantage; more on that later).
Of the three numbers we're sending to the chart, one is quite a bit larger than the other two and thus takes up most of the pie's area.
When the pie wedges are that small, the labels have a tendency to collide, or overlay one another.
