But if you must, I don't think you can alter the amount that the pie tilts backwards...at least, if you can, I haven't found it.

Well technically, you *could* create your very own pie chart as a RAVE visualization and tilt it however you like.

Just sayin'. 8)

I've read the "save the pies" article before, it is excellent.

You'll be saying you can round the edge, add a shadow and reflections next...
