[olug] Open Office Experts?

[Daniel Linder]

I don't have OOo to experiment with right now, but can you make the other
pieces of the pie either "white" (assuming the background is white) or is
there an "invisible" option?

To show a 3/4 pie, you'd need a 3/4 piece in color, and a 1/4 piece in
"white".  I believe you can set the fill and shadow options, but can you
set the line color options on the graphs?

"Computer literacy is a contact with the activity
of computing deep enough to make the computational
equivalent of reading and writing fluent and
enjoyable.  As in all the arts, a romance with
the material must be well under way.  If we value
the lifelong learning of arts and letters as a
springboard for personal and societal growth,
should any less effort be spent to make
computing a part of our lives?"
