[GCHLABEL-Ordering and labeling pie slices]

This example produces a pie chart of the types of vehicles produced worldwide. The labeled slices represent the percent of total production for each source. Instead of the sum statistic, each slice displays the percent each midpoint contributes to the whole pie. Arrows connect the midpoint labels to the slices, which are arranged by the MIDPOINTS= option so that similar types of vehicles are shown next to each other in the pie chart.
