splitting a circle in segments and fill the parts?

[Anders 205]

Will gladly do that, Ren2980. There's artistically nothing very spectacular about the samples, really. Just meant to be an imagination teaser.

Item #1: All selected, line applied, width to fill segment gaps, selection de-selected, segments color filled, segment line colored same as segment, all grouped, object rotated 15°.
Items #2 and #3: No line applied, all grouped, Flaming Pear filter applied.
Item #4: All grouped, segments colored, line applied, line brush applied.
Item #5: All grouped, segments colored, fat line applied and background colored.
Item #6 (parachute alike): Inner circle deleted, no line applied, all grouped, sectors colored, two thin circle help lines drawn--one same diameter as sector object, another somewhat smaller--selected all and center aligned objects, de-selected all, ungrouped sector object, selected a sector and Shape Editor tool, zoomed in on sector, deleted all but two outer points on sector arc, dragged each of the two remaining arc corner points towards center and dropped them on inner circle help line, center of arc dragged to outer circle help line, repeated for all sectors, when finished deleted the two circle help lines.
Item #7: Inner circle deleted, now only sectors, no line applied, all selected, Flaming Pear filter applied.
Item #8: Inner circle deleted, now only sectors, no line applied, all selected, sector color applied.

Anything goes!

Cheers, Anders
