## Detailed Description

A pie slice has a value and a label. When the slice is added to a pie series, the QPieSeries object calculates the percentage of the slice compared with the sum of all slices in the series to determine the actual size of the slice in the chart.

By default, the label is hidden. If it is visible, it can be either located outside the slice and connected to it with an arm or centered inside the slice either horizontally or in parallel with the tangential or normal of the slice's arc.

By default, the visual appearance of the slice is set by a theme, but the theme can be overridden by specifying slice properties. However, if the theme is changed after the slices are customized, all customization will be lost.

To enable user interaction with the pie chart, some basic signals are emitted when users click pie slices or hover the mouse over them.

See also QPieSeries.

## Member Type Documentation

### enum QPieSlice::LabelPosition

This enum describes the position of the slice label.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QPieSlice::LabelOutside` | `0` | The label is located outside the slice connected to it with an arm. This is the default value.
`QPieSlice::LabelInsideHorizontal` | `1` | The label is centered within the slice and laid out horizontally.
`QPieSlice::LabelInsideTangential` | `2` | The label is centered within the slice and rotated to be parallel with the tangential of the slice's arc.
`QPieSlice::LabelInsideNormal` | `3` | The label is centered within the slice and rotated to be parallel with the normal of the slice's arc.
