What it is

Waffle Chart turns part-to-whole into a 100-square grid where each square represents 1% of the total, colored by category. Easier to read percentages from than a pie, and looks fantastic.

What it does

10x10 grid where each square = 1%, filled by category with configurable fill direction, tooltip, cross-filter.
