Creating a text diagram

The text diagram displays attributes in a round circle, where each attribute occupies a horizontal slice of the circle and the attribute value is labeled inside the slice. As an example, the following screenshot shows a portion of a state's counties, with text diagrams showing the Hispanic population in the top half and the non-Hispanic population in the bottom half of the circle:

By reviewing the text diagrams in the preceding screenshot, let's note down a few things:

• The labels report each race's attribute and are colored based on the selected attribute colors
• The size of the diagram varies according to the total population of each county
• The horizontal slice outlines are black and thin
• The text diagrams are displayed over the centroid of each polygon

These four noted items, among others that are not noted, are all customizable using parameters that are available in the Diagrams tab of the Layer Properties window. The Diagrams tab for text diagrams has one section with unique parameters: Appearance.
