The sector command creates a two-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is a sector of the disk of radius r and centered at [x,y].  The sector starts at radian angle a and ends at radian angle b.

If the radius is given as a range r1..r2, the sector of an annulus of inside radius r1 and outside radius r2 is created.

The plot data object produced by the sector command can be used in a PLOT data structure, or displayed using the plots[display] command.

Remaining arguments are interpreted as options, which are specified as equations of the form option = value. For more information, see plottools and plot/options.

The name pieslice is accepted as a synonym for sector for compatibility with earlier releases.

The plottools[sector] command was introduced in Maple 16.
