==Usage== {{more citations needed section|date=March 2015}} Pie menus are a self-revealing [[mouse gesture|gestural interface]]: they display multiple options to a user and direct them to select one. Users operate the menu by observing the labels or icons present as options, moving the pointer in the desired direction, then clicking to make a selection. This action is called a "mark ahead" ("mouse ahead" in the case of a [[mouse (computing)|mouse]], "wave ahead" in the case of a [[wired glove|dataglove]]).{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}} Repetition of actions and memorization of the interface further simplify the user experience. Pie menus take advantage of the body's ability to [[muscle memory|remember muscle motion and direction]], even when the mind has forgotten the corresponding symbolic labels.<ref name="node98" />
