I'm afraid I can't really answer your question. But in the pie function documentation, you can read the following : ,---- | Pie charts are a very bad way of displaying information. The eye | is good at judging linear measures and bad at judging relative | areas. A bar chart or dot chart is a preferable way of displaying | this type of data. | | Cleveland (1985), page 264: "Data that can be shown by pie charts | always can be shown by a dot chart. This means that judgements of | position along a common scale can be made instead of the less | accurate angle judgements." This statement is based on the | empirical investigations of Cleveland and McGill as well as | investigations by perceptual psychologists. `---- So an alternative could be to use dotchart() instead of pie().
