#!/usr/bin/python
from pychartdir import *

# The data for the pie chart
data = [25, 18, 15, 12, 8, 30, 35]

# The labels for the pie chart
labels = ["Labor", "Licenses", "Taxes", "Legal", "Insurance", "Facilities", "Production"]

# Create a PieChart object of size 360 x 300 pixels
c = PieChart(360, 300)

# Set the center of the pie at (180, 140) and the radius to 100 pixels
c.setPieSize(180, 140, 100)

# Add a title to the pie chart
c.addTitle("Project Cost Breakdown")

# Draw the pie in 3D
c.set3D()

# Set the pie data and the pie labels
c.setData(data, labels)

# Explode the 1st sector (index = 0)
c.setExplode(0)

# Output the chart
