Example: Pie Chart
==================

Example of creating Excel Column charts.

Chart 1 in the following example is:

   :scale: 75 %

Chart 2  shows how to set segment colours.

It is possible to define chart colours for most types of XlsxWriter charts via
the :func:`add_series()` method. However, Pie charts are a special case since
each segment is represented as a point and as such it is necessary to assign
formatting to each point in the series.
