===================================
Scatter plot with pie chart markers
===================================
This example makes custom 'pie charts' as the markers for a scatter plot.
Thanks to Manuel Metz for the example.

# calculate the points of the first pie marker
# these are just the origin (0, 0) + some (cos, sin) points on a circle
