Pie chart with colors

With this pie chart, we can define a list of colors which is used for the pieces. A counter cycles through the list for choosing the color, it restarts after the list ended.

The annotation is done using the pin element.

This example was written by Henri Menke answering a question of Sascha on TeXwelt.de: http://texwelt.de/wissen/fragen/4965/

Edit and compile if you like:
