                                            boolean urls)

  Creates a pie chart with default settings.

  The chart object returned by this method uses a `PiePlot` instance as the plot.

  Parameters:
    `title` - the chart title (`null` permitted).
    `dataset` - the dataset for the chart (`null` permitted).
    `legend` - a flag specifying whether or not a legend is required.
    `tooltips` - configure chart to generate tool tips?

### createPieChart

    public static JFreeChart createPieChart(java.lang.String title,
                                            PieDataset dataset,
                                            PieDataset previousDataset,
                                            int percentDiffForMaxScale,
                                            boolean greenForIncrease,
                                            boolean legend,
                                            boolean tooltips,
                                            boolean urls,
                                            boolean subTitle,
                                            boolean showDifference)

  Creates a pie chart with default settings that compares 2 datasets. The colour of each section will be determined by the move from the value for the same key in `previousDataset`. ie if value1 > value2 then the section will be in green (unless `greenForIncrease` is `false`, in which case it would be `red`). Each section can have a shade of red or green as the difference can be tailored between 0% (black) and percentDiffForMaxScale% (bright red/green).

  For instance if `percentDiffForMaxScale` is 10 (10%), a difference of 5% will have a half shade of red/green, a difference of 10% or more will have a maximum shade/brightness of red/green.

  The chart object returned by this method uses a `PiePlot` instance as the plot.

  Written by Benoit Xhenseval.

  Parameters:
    `title` - the chart title (`null` permitted).
    `dataset` - the dataset for the chart (`null` permitted).
    `previousDataset` - the dataset for the last run, this will be used to compare each key in the dataset
    `percentDiffForMaxScale` - scale goes from bright red/green to black, percentDiffForMaxScale indicate the change required to reach top scale.
    `greenForIncrease` - an increase since previousDataset will be displayed in green (decrease red) if true.
    `legend` - a flag specifying whether or not a legend is required.
    `tooltips` - configure chart to generate tool tips?
    `urls` - configure chart to generate URLs?
    `subTitle` - displays a subtitle with colour scheme if true
    `showDifference` - create a new dataset that will show the % difference between the two datasets.
  Returns:
    A pie chart.
