Given a rectangle (w, h) and a pie slice with a radius less or equal to the smaller of both sides (w, h), a start angle and an end angle, how can I place the slice optimally in the rectangle so that it fills the room best (from an optical point of view, not mathematically speaking)? I'm currently placing the pie slice's center in the ce...
