So I take it 3D pie charts are out?
At least with ggplot, yes. 2D pie charts are somewhat tricky with ggplot, even. They can be gone with stacked, normalized bar charts projected into polar coordinates, if I recall properly.
Not limited to ggplot, there is pie() in the graphics package, and pie3D() in the plotrix package.
I couldn't find anything that would do bar plots with a 3D effect; the closest was the scatterplot3d package, but that is more a way to do a two dimensional array of bars, rather than a 3D effect.
P.S. It is not about hiding anything. It is about consulting and being told by your client to make 3D pie charts and change this font or that color to make the graphs more apealing. Given that I am the one trying to open the door to using R where I work it would be much easier if I could simply use a 2D graph.
External requirements can make us make choices we otherwise might not have. If the client is amenable to education, you could slowly try to persuade (say, using side-by-side examples), but some are not. Good luck.
