Calculating a sunrise/sunset pie chart on a 24 hour clock

[Paw4444]

Hello fellow customizers
I always try to do customizations alone and hardly ever post for help. I have been struggling to make this work for 2 days now.

Please see attached image.

01. The first is a 12 hour clock with arrows for sunrise and sunset. It also displays the sunrise/sunset times as text.
02. The second is a 24 hour clock.
03. What I would like to do is a 24 hour clock template with a pie chart representation below it. It would show sunrise/sunset as black arrows and also create a pie chart representation between these arrows, respectively one for the day and one for the night.

How would I go about taking these sunrise/sunset times from the WebParser and convert them to angle values that can be used to create the pie charts?
Once I get the angle value for (say) Sunset, I know how to start a bar from there, although I don't know how to make it end where the Sunrise arrow (angle value) is.

Thank you! This is outstanding, I am looking into it as soon as I am off work.

Here is an adaptation of Moshi's whip-cracking Daylight skin which adds an indication for times of the moon-rise and moon-set.

I also have a solution, please take a look: first of all, you should copy the [Variables], [MeasureYahooWeather], [MeasureSunRiseHour], [MeasureSunRiseMinute], [MeasureSunRiseAMPM], [MeasureSunSetHour], [MeasureSunSetMinute], [MeasureSunSetAMPM], [MeasureSunRise24Hour], [MeasureSunRise24HourText], [MeasureSunSet24Hour], [MeasureSunSet24HourText] sections from the SunRiseSet.ini. Then add a few measures, the background and three roundline meters, to show what you want. The whole code will look like:

Thank you all for the responses.

Mordasius, do you maybe know where I could download this skin?
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/65671008 this looks amazing. Very neat! I might give it a try altering it for a smaller and simpler version.

balala your code worked perfectly. Thanks a ton!

Moshi, your clock skin looks truly amazing! Now that I have looked at it for a while I start to prefer this layout as the night is below.. which in fact looks more pleasant.
Still, is there an easy solution of making your clock use the other 24 hour layout where noon is on the bottom? EDIT: I figured it out, very nicely done

Thanks guys, this is of enormous help. I had a look at the code of both solutions and I feel my coding skills are sufficient to carry on from here.. hopefully
