Pie chart
Pie chart, like bar chart is suitable to plot a value data series against a category data series. Donut chart is a variation of the Pie chart.
Scatter plot

Box plot

Radar chart
The run
API of the chart instance just provides a mechanism to fine tune a series of configurations.
An alternative way of writing the code would be to first assign the chart to a variable, and perform
configurations and then return it which could be tedious.
