You can get a result similar to this by using the Adjustable Wedge shape, a built-in shape that can be selected using the Object:Shape Inspector. Adjustable wedges have edit points that can be dragged to represent different pie slices. Each wedge shape will be a single pie slice, but you can of course make a few of these objects and stack them together to form a complete circle, as I’ve done in the following screenshot. I hope this helps!
thanks for pointing me to the Object:Shape Inspector. This can be quite useful!
Unfortunately, there is a specific reason, why I wanted a segment (which does not necessarily need to run through the center of a circle, unlike a sector or wedge.
In the end, I did a half-assed job using the pen tool. I drew a really large circle that was kind of small in my presentation, so it was ok.
.2. That activates a segment that is displayed in the Inspector/Style, in a not quite intuitive position, after Stroke and before Shadow:
If the Shape tool is not active, that segment (fixed size) is empty.
.3. Select the Wedge Shape.
.4. Draw.
In later releases that simple segment [2], has been turned into a monster for vision-impaired people (Aaron’s post), you will have to hunt it down. They haven’t figured out that real estate is seriously valuable, yet. Probably more keystrokes as well.
