%PIEXY (angle, size);

Parameter Description

angle numeric constant or numeric variable name; the angle of rotation when moving around the perimeter of a pie clockwise. The default is 0.0 (horizontal).

size numeric constant or numeric variable name; the radius multiplier. If you specify 1.5, the Annotate facility calculates 1.5 times the radius that you specified with the size parameter in the SLICE macro.

Details

The calculated coordinates are placed in the internal coordinate pair (XLAST, YLAST). This macro is useful when you want to position text around a pie (circle).

When you use this macro, the Annotate facility expects a slice to have been previously drawn. If a slice has not been drawn or FUNCTION='PIECNTR' has not been processed, you can get erroneous results.
