I am trying to make a simple pie chart in vega, but it won't render. I think there is something wrong with the data structure. I have tried many vega transforms, but I can't get it to work.
Am I doing something wrong?

@PeterSkarmyr hi, could you attach the results of [these instructions](https://gist.github.com/nyurik/736c34970ba3c32f3fe3d45d66719b3e) to your question? Thanks!

@PeterSkarmyr you are missing a few required values for your `arc` mark. Also, I would recommend always using `update` encoding rather than `enter` - because in Kibana the size of the graph might change at any moment, and you don't want to have constants anywhere.
```
"marks": [
{
"type": "arc",
"from": {"data": "table"},
"encode": {
"update": {
"fill": {"scale": "color", "field": "key"},
"startAngle": {"field": "startAngle"},
"endAngle": {"field": "endAngle"},
"x": {"signal": "width/2"},
"y": {"signal": "height/2"},
"outerRadius": {"signal": "min(width,height)/2.2"}
}
}
}
],
```
