Figure 2. 12. PIE Example The PIE command uses the format PIE radius, starting angle, size of slice, ...; In the example above, the radius is 2 centimeters (since we set the unit to centimeters with the UNIT command), and the starting angle is 0 degrees. Four pie slices are specified, with sizes of 10, 20, 30, and 40. The printing system automatically converts the slice sizes to angles totalling 360 degrees. Then it draws the first slice with a cut at the angle specified by the second parameter (0 degrees in our example, or straight up). The remaining slices are drawn in sequence clockwise around the circle. The line thickness used for drawing the circle and the lines between slices are designated by the SPD (Set Pen Diameter) command. Any number of pie slice sizes can be specified, provided that the total length of the command does not exceed 255 characters, and that the sum of the pie slices does not exceed 9999. All numbers specified for slice sizes must be non-negative integers. The PIE command does not fill in the slices with any fill pattern. The PAT command can be used to create shaded areas. The previous example is expanded to fill in the slices. !R!
