I have the following dataframe:
Product predicted_MarketShare Predicted_MS_Percentage
A 2.827450e-02 2.8
B 4.716403e-06 0.0
C 1.741686e-01 17.4
D 1.716303e-04 0.0
.......
Because there are so many products, and most of predicted Market share is
around 0%.
When I make pie chart, the labels of those product with 0% market share are
overlapping.
How do I make the labels are not overlapping?
Hi Tammy,
Obviously you have many more products than are shown above. Let us
assume that their market share is distributed approximately as negative
binomial and your "C" value is the maximum. You might have twenty
products with market shares around:
market_share<-c(0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,10,11,15,17)
names(market_share)<-LETTERS[1:20]
If you try to plot this as a pie chart:
pie(market_share)
you do get a bunch of overprinted labels for the four zero values. Pie
charts with more than four or five sectors are usually not the best way
to display the distribution of your values, but if you must:
par(mar=c(5,4,4,4))
pie(market_share,labels=c(rep("",4),names(market_share)[5:20]))
par(xpd=TRUE)
text(1.1,0,"A,B,C,D=0")
par(xpd=FALSE)
Good luck with it.
Jim
