<!-- 
for each piece of the pie chart create one div and give it
a data-value attribute that represents the amount (in degrees) that
represents its total visible portion, and a data-start attribute
that matches the amount rotation for the starting  (the cumulative value amount of all the previous pieces).

 
-->
<div class="pie" data-start="0" data-value="30"></div>
<div class="pie highlight" data-start="30" data-value="30"></div>
<div class="pie" data-start="60" data-value="40"></div>
<div class="pie big" data-start="100" data-value="260"></div>
