Hi Emily, It sounds like what you might want is a Sunburst chart. See http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/ii/sunburst/ for some examples.
GViz doesn't support Sunburst charts yet, though we may do that soon, perhaps as a generalization of the PieChart. The only alternative I can suggest now would involve using a Dashboard to let the user select from the list of main categories, and you would only show the smaller categories in your PieChart. Hope that helps. dan On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 2:35 PM, Emily Schechter <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Is it possible to "group" together sections of my pie chart?
