This example demonstrates different sector layout angles and directions.
By default, ChartDirector positions sectors starting from the upward pointing position, and in clockwise direction.
The start angle and layout direction can be changed using
PieChart.setStartAngle.
One common application for
PieChart.setStartAngle is to facilitate layout of pie charts containing many small sectors. Please refer to
Side Label Layout for an example.
