How to plot a pie chart using ggplot in R? A pie chart is a circular garph, that represents data. It is a pictorial representation of the data. In a pie chart,the chart is divided into slices, where each slice is a proportional part of the whole data. The pie chart is a very useful tool for data analysis. ggplot is a package in R that helps in data visualization. This recipe demonstrates an example of pie charts using the ggplot.
Step 1 - Install necessary libraries
library("ggplot2")
library("dplyr")
Step 1 - Define a dataframe
Syntax for pie chart plots using ggplot is- ggplot (data, aes (x=,y=)+geom_bar () where, data — the required data to be plotted in a pie chart aes (x=,y=)) — the aes function — creates mapping from data to geom geom_line — the geometric object to be drawn.
data <- data.frame("category" = c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D','E'),
"values" = c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50))
print(data)
Step 2 - Plot the pie chart
ggplot(data, aes(x="", y=values, fill=category)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity", width=1) +
coord_polar("y", start=0)
