Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the reply. Your comments are helpful.
I agree with you about relative position in relation to geography.
The thing with this particular circular graph is it speaks to the
executive ranks a bit more than a bar or line graph.

If the units of analysis are real spatial regions (e.g. states), how
about a cartogram?

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.

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.

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?
Kindest Regards,
