Hi

gridBase won't help here (grid can't rotate traditional graphics output).

I think you have to get your hands dirty on this one, but it's not too hard. Here's a function pie90() which is a tiny modification of pie(). Does that do the trick?

pie90 <- function (x, labels = names(x), edges = 200, radius = 0.8, density = NULL,
    angle = 45, col = NULL, border = NULL, lty = NULL, main = NULL,
    ...)
{
    if (!is.numeric(x) || any(is.na(x) | x <= 0))
        stop("'x' values must be positive.")
    if (is.null(labels))
        labels <- as.character(1:length(x))
    x <- c(0, cumsum(x)/sum(x))
    dx <- diff(x)
    plot.new()
    pin <- par("pin")
    xlim <- ylim <- c(-1, 1)
    if (pin[1] > pin[2])
        xlim <- (pin[1]/pin[2]) * xlim
    else ylim <- (pin[2]/pin[1]) * ylim
    plot.window(xlim, ylim, "", asp = 1)
    nx <- length(dx)
    if (is.null(col))
        col <- if (is.null(density))
            c("white", "lightblue", "mistyrose", "lightcyan",
                "lavender", "cornsilk")
        else par("fg")
    col <- rep(col, length.out = nx)
    border <- rep(border, length.out = nx)
    lty <- rep(lty, length.out = nx)
    angle <- rep(angle, length.out = nx)
    density <- rep(density, length.out = nx)
    for (i in 1:nx) {
        n <- max(2, floor(edges * dx[i]))
# modified line below
        t2p <- 2 * pi * seq(x[i], x[i + 1], length = n) + pi/2
        xc <- c(cos(t2p), 0) * radius
        yc <- c(sin(t2p), 0) * radius
        polygon(xc, yc, density = density[i], angle = angle[i],
            border = border[i], col = col[i], lty = lty[i])
# modified line below
        t2p <- 2 * pi * mean(x[i + 0:1]) + pi/2
        xc <- cos(t2p) * radius
        yc <- sin(t2p) * radius
        if (!is.na(lab <- labels[i]) && lab != "") {
            lines(c(1, 1.05) * xc, c(1, 1.05) * yc)
            text(1.1 * xc, 1.1 * yc, lab, xpd = TRUE, adj = ifelse(xc <
                0, 1, 0), ...)
        }
    }
    title(main = main, ...)
    invisible(NULL)
}

You might want to look at grid graphics and gridBase. I don't know in detail how to go about what you are asking, but grid allows you to rotate plots arbitrarily. Here are a couple of links that I think are useful.

hey,

about two weeks ago i posted a question concerning the display of two piecharts on one plot. after now being able to do so, i need to rotate them. the first piece of my pie is suppose to start at 0� but at 90�. i tried several things, all failing in the end. anyone out there who has an idea?
