Please include pie chart option in gnuplot

[Andreas K. <And...@di...>]

Hi,

To my surprise I have found that gnuplot cannot construct pie charts.

Yes, I know that some consider pie charts as bad for presenting data, 
but they are nevertheless used by many people, and some find them useful.

Could you please include a possibility to construct pie charts in gnuplot?

Best regards,
Andreas Karlsson

Pie is not top priority.  I've placed an old patch on

http://webpages.charter.net/dsebald/

which comes with less than the usual warranty.  You'll probably have to write and arc drawing routine for any output terminal of interest other than x11.
