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!
