Talk:Simple non-US portfolios

Hi, I am trying to insert a pie chart, I have followed Wiki editorial guidance to no avail. Could someone help and show me how to do it properly. Thanks. --DJN 10:04, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, when I try and insert the image via a google drive, I get a message saying "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct". I have inserted the destination into the amended URL. I have the images in PNG and in an excel and in Microsoft pictures.--DJN 14:06, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You insert images by downloading the file to your PC. Then, upload the image with Upload file. The image will create a new page that can be linked from the article. If that does not work, then post the link here and I can work on it. Ensure that permissions are set as "Anyone with a link can view". --LadyGeek 15:37, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Your first attempt was to utilize a Wikipedia template Template:Pie chart, which has not been implemented here. I will attempt to incorporate that template into the wiki. The template is a bit tricky (a good challenge for me). I will post a status when it is ready (or I am unable to implement). --LadyGeek 16:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I have implemented the Pie chart template. I used your simple 2-fund portfolio as an example. --LadyGeek 02:47, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi LadyGeek, thanks for implementing that new one! I will certainly try it out now on a new one. Do you want me to substitute the pie charts that I have already made for my new page with your new version? --DJN 03:52, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi DJN, The pie chart images have a lot of unused area, which shrink the overall size of the pie chart and make it difficult to read. You can start with a large image, crop out (remove) the unused area, then scale the chart size in the page, e.g. 2 fund non-US portfolio.png . If you are not comfortable editing images, then I would suggest to use the pie charts.
 * The pie charts can not embed the percentages inside the pie slice. However, they may display what you need. Also, they are easy to modify. I have reproduced your simple portfolios in my User page sandbox. Use / modify these pie charts as you wish. It is important to keep the colors consistent across the portfolios - much easier to understand. You are welcome to edit my sandbox page directly. --LadyGeek 14:11, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Ladygeek, thanks for doing that, its neat. I will translate into the coded versions. One thing though I think that I will put the charts into or at least beside a table containing the suggested portfolio for each version with the name and ISIN etc. Do you think I can do that with the pie chart coding version? --DJN 15:13, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. I have copied an example from the Canadian wiki into my sandbox page. Having a pie chart alongside the table will go a very long way to help investors understand the concept. --LadyGeek 18:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
