But, ironically, creating custom pie charts is *not* something that greatly 
benefits from a GUI.  If you’re starting with a set of numbers (or any data 
source), let the computer do its job.

You are wrong.  Patterns can be applied to containers in SVG.  Here’s an 
example I whipped up in Safari’s snippet editor:

<svg width="640" height="640" >
<defs>
	<pattern id="GridPattern" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
			 x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"
			 viewBox="0 0 10 10" >
	  <rect fill="none" stroke="gray" x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"/>
	</pattern> 
</defs>

<g fill="url(#GridPattern)">
<rect x="10" y="10" width="100" height="100" />
<rect x="200" y="200" width="100" height="100" />
</g>

</svg>

A sample of *what*?  You’ve gone out of your way to not do any work or say 
exactly what it is you want that isn’t done by existing tools.  Like I said 
before, how about *you* create the sample file that gets you to your limit 
and *then* ask people about the specific roadblock you’ve run into.  
Because, right now, it really doesn’t seem like you’re eager to actually 
solve a problem.
