‘Insert’ ‘Pie’

Symbol:

Use this command to insert a Pie Segment as an element into your current visualization.

While pressing the left mouse button, bring up an area in the desired size. An oval element including a line marking the radius at the 0° position will be displayed. As long as keeping the mouse button pressed you can immediately change size and position of the element by moving the mouse. A little black square is attended to the the element, indicating the corner of a virtual rectangle surronding the element.

In order to define the start and end angles of a Pie, select the end point of the radius line on the circular arc by a mouse-click. As soon as you, keeping the mouse button pressed, move the cursor, two small rectangles will be displayed, indicating the two angle positions. As from now those can be selected and moved seperately. If you want the angle values get defined dynamically by variables, open the configuration dialog category ‘Angle’ (see Angle) and enter the desired variable names.

You can resize or reshape the element later by either clicking on the centre point, the cursor getting displayed as diagonally crossed arrows, and moving the mouse while keeping the mouse button pressed (or using the arrow keys). Alternatively you can select and move the corner indicating little square outside of the element. In order to move the element to another position, click inside the element to get the cursor beeing displayed as vertically crossed arrows and then move the cursor.
