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

       There is no need to delete a pieBoxLabeler object as it is automatically handled by the pie class.

       stooop::new pieBoxLabeler canvas ?options?
              Creates a pieBoxLabeler object in the specified Tk canvas. The pieBoxLabeler object identifier
              is returned (referred to as pieBoxLabelerObject in this document).

       switched::configure pieBoxLabelerObject ?options?
              Configures a pieBoxLabeler object or returns all the options with their current values  if  no
              options are passed as parameters.

       switched::cget pieBoxLabelerObject option
              Returns an option value for the specified pieBoxLabeler object.


OPTIONS
       -font value
              Specifies a font for the slice labels. If not specified, the default font is system dependent.

       -justify value
              Specifies how to justify labels within their own column. Must be one of left, center or right.
              Defaults  to  left.  For example, if justification is right, all column labels right edges are
              aligned.

       -offset value
              Specifies the distance between the pie graphics and the closest slice label. This value may be
              specified in any of the forms described in the canvas COORDINATES manual section.
