The JWAVE Pie Tool is a Bean that displays a pie chart.

This Tool uses a DoubleTable object as input to the PV‑WAVE PIE_CHART procedure. See Using JWAVE Beans for information on using this Bean in the BeanBox.

The JWAVE Beans provided by Rogue Wave each have a Customizer for modifying the appearance of the plot produced by the Bean. This section describes the features of the Pie Tool Customizer.
