Each pie slice has 2 "dimensions" - the angle, and the radius - but there's no explanation of how they're used. What are some angles wider than others? Why do some slices have a greater radius? If the only thing being measured is the cost, are these two dimensions random? Unless I’m missing something, this infoviz is pretty confusing…
