@Begin
@PP
There are options for placing captions left, right, above, and below
captions. @RawIndex { captions }
captions.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.captions @SubIndex { captions }
leftcaption. @RawIndex { @Code "leftcaption" option }
leftcaption.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.leftcaption @SubIndex { @Code "leftcaption" option }
rightcaption. @RawIndex { @Code "rightcaption" option }
rightcaption.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.rightcaption @SubIndex { @Code "rightcaption" option }
abovecaption. @RawIndex { @Code "abovecaption" option }
abovecaption.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.abovecaption @SubIndex { @Code "abovecaption" option }
belowcaption. @RawIndex { @Code "belowcaption" option }
belowcaption.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.belowcaption @SubIndex { @Code "belowcaption" option }
the pie graph, following the pattern of the captions in {@Code "@Graph"}:
@ID @OneRow @Code @Verbatim {
@Pie
    leftcaption { At left }
    rightcaption { At right }
    abovecaption { This appears above }
    belowcaption { This appears below }
}
produces
@CD @Pie
    leftcaption { At left }
    rightcaption { At right }
    abovecaption { This appears above }
    belowcaption { This appears below }
{
    @Slice
        weight { 20 }
        label { Admin (20%) }
    @Slice
        weight { 40 }
        paint { green }
        label { Research (40%) }
    @Slice
        weight { 40 }
        paint { lightred }
        label { Teaching (40%) }
}
The captions may be arbitrary Lout objects, so may include
equations, {@Code "@Rotate"}, and so on.  Each caption except
@Code rightcaption is printed in the
@Code "clines @Break" style, which means that multiple lines in one
caption will be centred beneath each other.  The @Code rightcaption
option uses the @Code "lines @Break" style, in which the lines are
left justified beneath each other.
@PP
There are options for controlling the amount of space between each
caption and the pie graph.  Here they are with their default values:
leftgap. @RawIndex { @Code "leftgap" option }
leftgap.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.leftgap @SubIndex { @Code "leftgap" option }
rightgap. @RawIndex { @Code "rightgap" option }
rightgap.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.rightgap @SubIndex { @Code "rightgap" option }
abovegap. @RawIndex { @Code "abovegap" option }
abovegap.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.abovegap @SubIndex { @Code "abovegap" option }
belowgap. @RawIndex { @Code "belowgap" option }
belowgap.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.belowgap @SubIndex { @Code "belowgap" option }
@ID @OneRow @Code @Verbatim {
@Pie
    leftgap  { 0.5c }
    rightgap { 0.5c }
    abovegap { 0.5c }
    belowgap { 0.5c }
}
These gaps are inserted only if the corresponding caption is
non-empty.  Lout knows exactly where captions are, and leaves
space for them and their gaps, so it would be wrong to attempt
to use the {@Code leftextra}, {@Code rightextra}, {@Code aboveextra},
and {@Code belowextra} options from Section {@NumberOf pie_over} to
allow for the space occupied by captions.
@PP
When a pie graph is to be presented as a centred display, it is usually
best if the centring is done with respect to the pie alone, not the
captions and labels.  The @Code "hidecaptions" option does this by
hidecaptions. @RawIndex { @Code "hidecaptions" option }
hidecaptions.in.pie @SubIndex { in pie graphs }
piegraphs. @RawIndex { pie graphs }
piegraphs.hidecaptions @SubIndex { @Code "hidecaptions" option }
making the left and right captions and gaps seem to Lout to have zero
width:
@ID @OneRow @Code @Verbatim {
@Pie
    hidecaptions { yes }
}
Actually @Code "yes" has been made the default value, since the vast
majority of pie graphs are centred displays.  In the rare cases where
this feature is not wanted (for example, if a pie graph appears as an entry
in a table), use {@Code "hidecaptions { no }"}.
