SYNOPSIS
       ssttoooooopp::::nneeww ppiieeBBooxxLLaabbeelleerr canvas ?options?

DESCRIPTION
       The  pie box style labeler object is used as a slice label placer for a
       ppiiee object and is passed to the pie constructor via its -llaabbeelleerr option
       (see the ppiiee class manual).

       The labels are arranged in 2 columns below the pie graphics. Each label
       text is placed to the right of a rectangle,  the  background  color  of
       which  matches its corresponding slice. The slice share value is placed
       to the right of the label text, separated by a semicolon. Each label is
       actually  a  canvasLabel  object  (see the ccaannvvaassLLaabbeell class manual for
       further information).

       There is no need to delete a ppiieeBBooxxLLaabbeelleerr object as  it  is  automati-
       cally handled by the pie class.
