@Section
   @Title { Errors }
   @Tag { pie_erro }
@Begin
@PP
Lout normally produces output that will print without mishap on
errors. @RawIndex { errors }
errors.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.errors @SubIndex { errors }
any PostScript device.  However, some of the options of @Code "@Pie"
and @Code "@Slice" are passed through Lout without checking.  Any
errors in this material will not be detected until the file is printed.
@PP
When an error is detected, the offending page is printed up to the
point where the error occurred, with a message nearby describing
the error.  Printing of the document is then aborted.  The problem
is usually easy to locate since it lies in whatever should have
been printed next.
@PP
Like {@Code "@Diag"} and {@Code "@Graph"}, @Code "@Pie" has a
@Code "save" option which causes the memory used by the pie graph
save. @RawIndex { @Code "save" option }
save.in.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.save @SubIndex { @Code "save" option }
to be reclaimed as soon as it is printed:
@ID @OneRow @Code @Verbatim {
@Pie
    save { yes }
...
}
However @Code "@Pie" uses very little memory and so this option is
probably not going to be needed.
