I think this can be solved by categories. How about this: The user is
expected to assign tags to a specific category (e.g. Graph:). Your tool
will simply ignore all other tags, and just plots all tags of the form
to Graph:*. This should guarantee that they never add up to more than
100%. This may also solve the problem of measuring the unmatched time,
at least if you build on the output of "arbtt-stats --category Graph"

Bonus points for making the name of the category configurable with a
command line argument to your tool, and maybe even supporting multiple
pie charts next to each other.

If you use the "arbtt-stats --category" report, it will report unmatched
time. In fact, with
$ arbtt-stats --category Program --for-each=day --output-format csv
you should get the numbers for the pie charts directly, without further
processing


For the other reports, where tags are generally overlapping an automatic
"other" tag might be less useful.
