pie3D.labels: Display labels on a 3D pie chart

In plotrix: Various Plotting Functions

Display labels on a 3D pie chart

Description

Displays labels on a 3D pie chart.

Usage

 pie3D.labels(radialpos,radius=1,height=0.1,theta=pi/6,
  labels,labelcol=par("fg"),labelcex=1.5,labelrad=1.25,minsep=0.3)

Arguments

radialpos	Position of the label in radians
radius	the radius of the pie in user units
height	the height of the pie in user units
theta	The angle of viewing in radians
labels	The label to display
labelcol	The color of the labels
labelcex	The character expansion factor for the labels
labelrad	The expansion for the labels around the pie.
minsep	The minimum angular separation between label positions.

Details

‘⁠pie3D.label⁠’ displays labels on a 3D pie chart. The positions of the labels are given as angles in radians (usually the bisector of the pie sectors). As the labels can be passed directly to pie3D, this function would probably not be called by the user.

‘⁠pie3D.labels⁠’ tries to separate labels that are placed closer than ‘⁠minsep⁠’ radians. This simple system will handle minor crowding of labels. If labels are very crowded, capturing the return value of ‘⁠pie3D⁠’ and editing the label positions may allow the user to avoid manually placing labels.

  c("We hate\n pies","We oppose\n  pies","We don't\n  care","We just love pies")
 pie3D.labels(bisectors,labels=pielabels)
