To step

1. Open or create a file in Adobe Illustrator. To do this, click on the yellow-brown app with the letters "Ai ' and then on File in the menu bar at the top left of the screen, and:
   • click on New… to create a new file; or
   • click on Open… to add a pie chart to an existing document.
2. Click on the "Graph" tool. This is at the bottom right of the toolbar.
   • A selection menu opens to the right of the toolbar.
3. Click on the Pie Chart Tool. This is at the bottom of the selection menu.
4. Click anywhere in the workspace and drag the borders. Do this until the square is about the size of the pie chart you want to make.
5. Release the mouse. A pie chart will appear with a dialog box showing the table where to enter your data.
6. Enter the data in the table. To do this, click on a cell and enter the value you want to display in the pie chart. Press Tab ↹ to move to the next cell.
   • Each horizontal row represents a single pie chart. If you type data in a row other than the top one, additional pie charts are created.
   • Each vertical column represents the data that make up the "segments" of the pie chart. For example, enter 30 in the top row of the first column, 50 in the second column and 20 in the third column and you will get a pie chart with three segments of 30%, 50% and 20%.
   • Use the scroll bars at the bottom and right of the dialog box to display more cells.
7. Click ☑️ to apply your data to the pie chart. It's in the top right corner of the dialog box.
8. Close the table. When you are satisfied with the pie chart, close the dialog box by clicking the X (Windows) or red circle (Mac) in the corner of the dialog box.
9. click on Save. The pie chart is created based on the data you entered.
   • To change the colors on your pie chart:
   • Click on the Direct Selection tool. This is the light gray pointer at the top right of the toolbar.
   • Click on a section of the pie chart.
   • Click on a color in the "Color" window. Repeat for each section you want to change the color of.
     • If you don't see the "Color" box, click Window in the menu bar, then on Color.
     • Click the menu in the upper right corner of the "Color" window to display the available color options.
