Hi Doug you are right, a pie sector is a very special shape. A triangle is much more common. But a triangle can easily created as a polygon with 3 edges (okay, it's a symmetric triangle, but you can scale it.). And yes, you can overlay the pies to get a ring sector, but than you have to create again 2 pie sectors (very complex path elements). If you use a discrete banded radial gradient, you can't use patterns. In my opinion there's no easy way to generate such a shape without going into the complex path syntax.
