Circular Graph Recommendation Request
If the units of analysis are real spatial regions (e.g. states), how about a cartogram? https://gisgeography.com/cartogram-maps/ An R package (I have no experience with it) https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cartogram/index.html The advantage of a cartogram is that it is a single graphic, rather than 2 like the original post referenced. No need to move eye back and forth to decode the colors. And it maintains---as much as possible given the distortion, which is the whole point of a cartogram--- the relative spatial positions of the areal units (in this case, states.) The round figure in the original post has the northern midwestern region in the 7:00 to 8:00-ish position, what might be considered notionally the "southwest." A little counterintuitive. --Chris Ryan

Very nice plot. Thanks for sharing. Can't help directly, but as the plot is sort of a map with polygonal areas encoding the value of a variable, you might try posting on r-sig-geo instead where there might be more relevant expertise in such things -- or perhaps suggestions for alternative visualizations that work similarly.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/us-goods-exports-by-state/ Visualizing U.S. Exports by State Good Morning, https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/us-exports-by-state-infographic.jpg Saw an impressive graph today. Sharing with the list. The size proportionality of the state segments in a circle graph is catchy. QUESTION Is there a package one could use with R to accomplish this particular circular-style graph?
