This post provides code and explanation to build a
donut chart in base R. It offers a
doughnut()
function that can be reused on any data.
To draw a donut plot, the easiest
way is to use ggplot2
, as suggested in
graph #128.
If you want to stick to base R however, the function given below should allow you to get there.
Important: this functions comes from here.
# The doughnut function permits to draw a donut plot

## Add white disc

# Let's use the function, it works like PiePlot !
# inner.radius controls the width of the ring!
