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 canvasLabel 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.

       The labeler has the following specific tag (see the canvas manual page
       ITEM IDS AND TAGS section for more information):
