DESCRIPTION

       The  pie  peripheral  style  labeler  object  is used as a slice label placer for a pie object and is passed to the pie constructor via its
       -labeler option (see the pie class manual).

       The slice description text labels are arranged in 2 columns below the pie graphics, whereas the slice values are placed next to	the  slice
       and  actually  follow  the  slice  as the pie is updated. Each description label text is placed to the right of a rectangle, the background
       color of which matches its corresponding slice. Each description label is actually a canvasLabel object.

       There is no need to delete a piePeripheralLabeler object as it is automatically handled by the pie class.

       stooop::new piePeripheralLabeler canvas ?options?
	      Creates a piePeripheralLabeler object in the specified Tk canvas. The piePeripheralLabeler object identifier is returned (refered to
	      as piePeripheralLabelerObject in this document).

       switched::configure piePeripheralLabelerObject ?options?
	      Configures  a  piePeripheralLabeler  object or returns all the options with their current values if no options are passed as parame-
	      ters.

       switched::cget piePeripheralLabelerObject option
	      Returns an option value for the specified piePeripheralLabeler object.

OPTIONS

       -font value
	      Specifies a font for the slice labels. If not specified, the default font is system dependent.

       -justify value
	      Specifies how to justify labels within their own column. Must be one of left, center or right. Defaults to  left.  For  example,	if
	      justification is right, all column labels right edges are aligned.

       -offset value
	      Specifies  the  distance	between  the  pie  graphics  and  the closest slice label. This value may be specified in any of the forms
	      described in the canvas COORDINATES manual section.

       -smallfont
	      Specifies a font for the slice values. It is usually a small font in order to avoid values overlapping when 2 slices are very  close
	      to each other. If not specified, the description label font (-font option) is used.

       -widestvaluetext
	      Specifies  a  string  of maximum width for slice values (placed around the pie next to the slices), so that enough room is allocated
	      for these value labels when the pie width and height are set. It defaults to 00.0. For example, it could be set to "00.00 %".
