Hi, Beth,
I haven't used a pie chart recently, but that's the kind of graphic I'd build in PowerPoint and then insert as an image into Storyline. If you want sections to be clickable, you could insert transparent wedge shapes over the chart image.
Another trick to help create the entire thing in Storyline:
- Create the chart in PowerPoint or another program designed to generate pie charts based on specified data.
- Capture an image of that pie chart.
- Add the image to Storyline, and resize it as needed. Then lock it on the timeline so it won't move.
- Create your wedges in Storyline by lining them up over the locked image.
- When you've got all your wedges, delete the image.
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond and share some ideas. Appreciate it.
