(chapter :title [Pie Charts] :ident "pie-charts"

   (p [Skribilo contains a pie-chart formatting package, located in the
,(tt [(skribilo package pie)]) module.  It allows users to produces
represent numeric data as pie charts as in the following example:]

	(disp (pie :title [Use of Document Formatting Systems]
	           :fingers? #t :labels 'outside
	           :initial-angle 90
	           :ident "pie-skribilo-rulez"
                 (slice :weight 10 :color "red" :detach? #t
                   (bold [Skribilo]))
                 (slice :weight  6 :color "green"     "Skribe")
                 (slice :weight  6 :color "blue"      "Lout")
                 (slice :weight  4 :color "lightgrey" "LaTeX")
                 (slice :weight  2 :color "yellow"    "Docbook")
                 (slice :weight  1 :color "black"     "others"))))

   (p [A default implementation, which uses ,(ref :text [Ploticus] :url
"http://ploticus.sf.net") as an external program, is available for all
engines.  There is also a specific implementation for the Lout engine
which relies on Lout's own pie-chart package.  In the latter case, you
don't need to have Ploticus installed, but you need it in the former.])
   (p [Currently it only supports slice-coloring, but support for
textures (particularly useful for black & white printouts) could be
added in the future.])
   
   (section :title [Syntax]
      
      (p [Let us start with a simple example:]
	
	(example-produce
	  (example :legend "Example of a pie chart"
	     (prgm :file "src/pie1.skb"))
	  (disp (include "src/pie1.skb"))))
      
      (p [This illustrates the three markups provided by the ,(tt [pie])
package, namely ,(tt [pie]), ,(tt [slice]), and ,(tt [sliceweight]).
This last markup returns the weight of the slice it is used in, be it as
a percentage or an absolute value.  Note that the ,(tt [:total]) option
of ,(tt [pie]) can be used to create pie charts no entirely filled.])
      (p [Various options allow the pie layout to be controlled:]
	
	(example-produce
	  (example :legend "Specifying the layout of a pie chart"
	     (prgm :file "src/pie2.skb"))
	  (disp (include "src/pie2.skb"))))))
