[GCHPISUM-Specifying the SUM statistic for a PIE chart]

This example produces two pie charts that show total sales for three sites by charting the values of the character variable SITE and calculating the sum of the variable SALES for each site. It represents the statistics as slices of the pie. By default, the midpoint value and the summary statistic are printed beside each slice.

The pie slices use the default pattern fill, which is solid. Each slice displays a different color because, by default, pie charts are patterned by midpoint.

The second pie chart is a three-dimensional pie chart with an exploded slice, as shown in the following output.
