Pi \Pi\ (p[imac]), n. [Gr. pi^.]
1. A Greek letter ([Pi], [pi]) corresponding to the Roman
letter {P}.
2. Specif.: (Math.) The letter [Pi], [pi], as used to denote
the number or quotient approximately expressing the ratio
of the circumference of a circle to its diameter; also,
the quotient or the ratio itself. The value of the
quotient pi, to eight decimal places, is 3.14159265. The
quotient pi cannot be expressed as a root of an algebraic
equation; and from this fact follows the impossibility of
the quadrature of the circle by purely algebraic
processes, or by the aid of a ruler and compass.
Pi \Pi\, n. [See {Pica}, {Pie} magpie, service-book.] (Print.)
A mass of type confusedly mixed or unsorted. [Written also
{pie}.]
Pi \Pi\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Pied}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Pieing}.]
(Print.)
To put into a mixed and disordered condition, as type; to mix
and disarrange the type of; as, to pi a form. [Written also
{pie}.]

PI
An interface between {Prolog} {application program}s and the
{X Window System} that aims to be independent from the
{Prolog} {engine}, provided that it has a {Quintus} {foreign
function} interface (e.g. {SICStus} and {YAP}). It is mostly
written in {Prolog} and is divided in two libraries: Edipo -
the lower level interface to the {Xlib} functions; and
Ytoolkit - the higher level user interface toolkit.
