## Usage
```tsx
import { Chart, useChart } from "@chakra-ui/charts"
import { Cell, Pie, PieChart } from "recharts"
```
```tsx
```
## Examples
### Point Label
To display a point label on the chart, use the `PointLabel` component from
`recharts`.
### Start and End Angle
Customizing the `startAngle` and `endAngle` prop of the `` component can
create partial donuts.
```tsx
{/* ... */}
```
### Angle Padding
To add some space between the segments, use the `paddingAngle` prop.
> **Pro Tip:** To round the corners of the segments, use the `cornerRadius`
> prop.
### Detached Segment
To create an effect where the active segment is scaled and detached from the
rest of the segments, use the `activeIndex` prop and the `activeShape` prop.
```tsx /activeIndex/ /activeShape/
}
/>
```
### Centered Text
Use the `Chart.RadialText` component to display a centered text on the chart
with an optional description.
```tsx
