# A demo of a Pie chart in Excel::Writer::XLSX.
#
# The demo also shows how to set segment colours. It is possible to
# define chart colors for most types of Excel::Writer::XLSX charts
# via the add_series() method. However, Pie charts are a special case
# since each segment is represented as a point so it is necessary to
# assign formatting to each point in the series.
