How to create doughnut chart in React Bootstrap ?

Last Updated : 01 Jul, 2021

Doughnut charts are the modified version of Pie Charts with the area of center cut out. A doughnut is more concerned about the use of area of arcs to represent the information in the most effective manner instead of Pie chart which is more focused on comparing the proportion area between the slices. Doughnut charts are more efficient in terms of space because the blank space inside the donut charts can be used to display some additional information about the doughnut chart.
