squared "pie chart" - is there such a thing?
I tried the mosaic chart:
mytotal=data.frame(x=50,y=30,z=20)
require(stats)
mosaicplot(mytotal1)
It's good, but it only creates rectangles that are stacked on top of
each other, which is not exactly what I was looking for.
Is there a R package for waffle chart?
I tried help.search("waffle") and found nothing. Also nothing on Google...
Thanks!

Hello! It's a shoot in the dark, but I'll try. If one has a total of 100 (e.g., %), and three components of the total, e.g., mytotal=data.frame(x=50,y=30,z=20), - one could build a pie chart with 3 sectors representing x, y, and z according to their proportions in the total. I am wondering if it's possible to build something very similar, but not on a circle but in a square - such that the total area of the square is the sum of the components and the components (x, y, and z) are represented on a square as shapes with right angles (squares, rectangles, L-shapes, etc.). I realize there are many possible positions and shapes - even for 3 components. But I don't really care where components are located within the square - as long as they are there. Is there a package that could do something like that? Thanks a lot! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski marketfusionanalytics.com
