Animated Time-Line Pie Chart
Animated timelines are a great type of infographic. This demo shows how to create a pie chart cycling through datasets from a timeline.
Key implementation details
The only thing we need to do manually is set new data items in a loop. And then iterated to the next year. By using the Animated theme you get these nice transitions absolutely free and code-free.

The prompt below can be used to build this chart with AI. For best coding results, use the most advanced AI models, like Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3-Codex. For more info and tips, check out amCharts AI docs.
Create an auto-playing animated donut chart that cycles through 20 years of economic sector data (1995-2014). Display 8 sectors (Agriculture, Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing, Electricity and Water, Construction, Trade, Transport and Communication, Finance/Real Estate/Business Services) with percentage-based size values. The donut should have a large centered year label. Every 4 seconds, automatically transition to the next year's data with smooth animated transitions, then loop back to 1995 after reaching 2014. No manual interaction controls are needed. Use amCharts 5 library.
