Can someone explain to me how to create a pie chart using in a swing Applet. I have some fields that information is being entered into and would like it represented in a pie chart. I'm trying to use the drawArc() method but not understanding it completely.

Code:
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setColor(Color.blue);
g2.fillArc(200,200,100,100,90,-270);
}
// this code draws a filled arc starting at 12 O'clock and ending at nine O'clock clockwisely, so 90 is the starting pointing
// g2.drawArc(200,200,100,100,90,270); will draw anticlockwisely because positive 270 means anticlockwise and negative 270 means clockwise- Status
