I solved my problem for now by changing my approach to the pie
chart and using solid color for the circle, then I filled one
small segment by drawing short, straight lines a few points wide
before drawing over the entire thing with an outer dark circle
and the various radii. It works well for what I need right
now, but the macro approach makes sense provided groff supports
sine, cosine, and tangent functions...
I'm getting some really awesome looking slides, though they're
a bit laborious -- mainly because I haven't taken the trouble
to try to come up with more elegant macros which I really
don't need all that badly. The ones I have cover much of
the tedium.
Thanks for your inputs, all.
