Bug Description

After having used Baobab to graphically assess data usage, I have become likened to the idea of a ring chart for analysing resource usage in System Monitor.

I am not a great coder but I would like to help make this feature request happen, if there is enough support for the idea.

Any advice or feedback is welcome.

I'm sure there is support for the idea, as there is a 4 years old upstream bug already for this, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525288. I am sure this would be a valuable contribution to Ubuntu and GNOME, so please work on it, and propose a patch, I will happily review and promote it for inclusion in System Monitor upstream.

Ring charts are not easy to interpret with any degree of precision.

So, the suggestion is welcome as an optional feature, but not as a substitute replacing any current presentation formats in the Gnome System Monitor.
