In addition to those, @Code "@Pie" has +its own options that affect the overall appearance of the pie graph: +@ID -1px @Break @OneRow @Code @Verbatim { +@Pie + radius { 2.5c } + initialangle { 0d } + leftextra { 0c } + rightextra { 0c } + aboveextra { 0c } + belowextra { 0c } +} +This example shows these options with their default values. +@PP +The @Code radius option determines the radius of the pie +radius. @RawIndex { @Code "radius" option } +radius.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs } +piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs } +piegraphs.radius @SubIndex { @Code "radius" option } +graph. As shown, the default radius is 2.5 centimetres, giving a diameter +of 5 centimetres. +@PP +The @Code initialangle option determines the angle that the first +initialangle.pie @Index { @Code "initialangle" option (pie graphs) } +piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs } +piegraphs.initialangle @SubIndex { @Code "initialangle" option } +slice begins at. Following mathematical convention, the default angle +@Code 0d is directly to the right of the centre of the pie graph, and +as the value of @Code initialangle is increased the initial angle moves +anticlockwise. The slices are placed in anticlockwise order immediately +adjacent to each other. If you need a gap between two slices, use a +slice with no outline, no paint, and no label. +@PP +Lout thinks that the whole pie graph occupies a square space +tightly fitting around the given radius, as we can verify by +drawing a box with zero margin around an example pie graph: +@CD @Box margin { 0i } @Pie +{ + @Slice + weight { 20 } + label { Admin (20%) } + @Slice + weight { 40 } + paint { green } + label { Research (40%) } + @Slice + weight { 40 } + paint { lightred } + label { Teaching (40%) } +} +Detached slices (Section {@NumberOf pie_slic}) and external +labels (Section {@NumberOf pie_labe}) can be printed outside +this square region without Lout's knowledge, and this is +likely to spoil the layout: +@CD @Box margin { 0i } @Pie +{ + @Slice + detach { yes } + weight { 20 } + label { Admin (20%) } + @Slice + weight { 40 } + paint { green } + label { Research (40%) } + @Slice + weight { 40 } + paint { lightred } + label { Teaching (40%) } +} +The {@Code leftextra}, {@Code rightextra}, {@Code aboveextra}, and +leftextra.pie @Index { @Code "leftextra" option (pie graphs) } +piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs } +piegraphs.leftextra @SubIndex { @Code "leftextra" option } +rightextra.pie @Index { @Code "rightextra" option (pie graphs) } +piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs } +piegraphs.rightextra @SubIndex { @Code "rightextra" option } +aboveextra.pie @Index { @Code "aboveextra" option (pie graphs) } +piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs } +piegraphs.aboveextra @SubIndex { @Code "aboveextra" option } +belowextra.pie @Index { @Code "belowextra" option (pie graphs) } +piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs } +piegraphs.belowextra @SubIndex { @Code "belowextra" option } +{@Code belowextra} options are used to tell Lout to leave extra +space to the left, right, above, and below, so as to correct these +problems: +@ID -1px @Break @OneRow @Code @Verbatim { +@Pie + aboveextra { 0.7c } +} +We have not added extra space at the right as well, since we prefer +to centre the pie graph horizontally without regard to detached +slices. The result occupies 0.7 cm extra at the top: +@CD @Box margin { 0i } @Pie aboveextra { 0.7c } +{ + @Slice + detach { yes } + weight { 20 } + label { Admin (20%) } + @Slice + weight { 40 } + paint { green } + label { Research (40%) } + @Slice + weight { 40 } + paint { lightred } + label { Teaching (40%) } +} +We'll see these options again when we come to external labels in +Section {@NumberOf pie_labe}. +@End @Section |
