QlikView Pie Chart segments not proportionate

Hi folks,

Had a strange one come up today.

A Pie chart we have in QV, it's data is auurate, but the segments are not proportionate to the data itself.

In the below, the Teal segment is 50% of the Crimson segment in value, but definitely not 50% of it's size.

Then the light blue ((1,274) is smaller than the Teal (777).

3D pie charts are evil. Use a 2D chart if you must use a pie chart.

This isn't actually a Qlik issue. 3D pie charts are simply a terrible way to present data.

While I don't dispute that that is accurate, theres no way tilting it is causing the issues in that the 1274 is demonstrably smaller than the 777 !
