5.8. Example - Pie Chart, text-data-single

This is a pie chart with the data array type 'text-data-single'. This data type is only used with pie charts. Each record in the data array simply contains a label (which is not used by PHPlot) and a slice size. In this example, we use the label to identify the data for our own reference, and then build a legend from those data labels along with the data values. This is useful because PHPlot only labels the slices with percentage values.
