There&#8217;s no way you&#8217;re going to be able to do any real comparisons between the segments across pies and direct pie % labels kinda mean they should have just made a table if they were going to phone it in.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that today is Pi[e] Day, these pies need to go.<\/p>\n<p>If the intent was to primarily allow comparison of hours in-task, leaving some ability to compare the same time category across tasks, then bars are probably the way to go (you could do a parallel coordinates plot, but those looks like tangled guitar strings to me, so I&#8217;ll stick with bars). Here&#8217;s one possible alternative using R &#038; ggplot2. Since I provide the data, please link to your own creations as I&#8217;d love to see how others would represent the data.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: I left direct bar labels off deliberately. My view is that (a) this is designed to be a relative comparison vs precise comparison &#038; (b) it&#8217;s survey data and if we&#8217;re going to add #&#8217;s I&#8217;d feel compelled to communicate margin of error, etc. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s necessary.<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"rsplus\">library(ggplot2)\r\nlibrary(grid)\r\nlibrary(scales)\r\nlibrary(hrbrmisc) # devtools::install_github(\"hrbrmstr\/hrbrmisc\")\r\nlibrary(tidyr)\r\n\r\ndat <- read.table(text=\r\n\"Task|less_than_one_hour_per_week|one_to_four_hours_per_week|one_to_three_hours_a_day|four_or_more_hours_a_day\r\nBasic exploratory data analysis|11|32|46|12\r\nData cleaning|19|42|31|7\r\nMachine learning, statistics|34|29|27|10\r\nCreating visualizations|23|41|29|7\r\nPresenting analysis|27|47|20|6\r\nExtract, transform, load|43|32|20|5\", sep=\"|\", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)\r\n\r\namount_trans <- c(\"less_than_one_hour_per_week\"=\"<1 hr\/\\nwk\", \r\n                  \"one_to_four_hours_per_week\"=\"1-4 hrs\/\\nwk\", \r\n                  \"one_to_three_hours_a_day\"=\"1-3 hrs\/\\nday\", \r\n                  \"four_or_more_hours_a_day\"=\"4+ hrs\/\\nday\")\r\n\r\ndat <- gather(dat, amount, value, -Task)\r\ndat$value <- dat$value \/ 100\r\ndat$amount <- factor(amount_trans[dat$amount], levels=amount_trans)\r\n\r\ntitle_trans <- c(\"Basic exploratory data analysis\"=\"Basic exploratory\\ndata analysis\", \r\n                 \"Data cleaning\"=\"Data\\ncleaning\", \r\n                 \"Machine learning, statistics\"=\"Machine learning,\\nstatistics\", \r\n                 \"Creating visualizations\"=\"Creating\\nvisualizations\", \r\n                 \"Presenting analysis\"=\"Presenting\\nanalysis\", \r\n                 \"Extract, transform, load\"=\"Extract,\\ntransform, load\")\r\n\r\ndat$Task <-factor(title_trans[dat$Task], levels=title_trans)\r\n\r\ngg <- ggplot(dat, aes(x=amount, y=value, fill=amount))\r\ngg <- gg + geom_bar(stat=\"identity\", width=0.75, color=\"#2b2b2b\", size=0.05)\r\ngg <- gg + scale_y_continuous(expand=c(0,0), labels=percent, limits=c(0, 0.5))\r\ngg <- gg + scale_x_discrete(expand=c(0,1))\r\ngg <- gg + scale_fill_manual(name=\"\", values=c(\"#a6cdd9\", \"#d2e4ee\", \"#b7b079\", \"#efc750\"))\r\ngg <- gg + facet_wrap(~Task, scales=\"free\")\r\ngg <- gg + labs(x=NULL, y=NULL, title=\"Where Does the Time Go?\")\r\ngg <- gg + theme_hrbrmstr(grid=\"Y\", axis=\"x\", plot_title_margin=9)\r\ngg <- gg + theme(panel.background=element_rect(fill=\"#efefef\", color=NA))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(strip.background=element_rect(fill=\"#858585\", color=NA))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(strip.text=element_text(family=\"OpenSans-CondensedBold\", size=12, color=\"white\", hjust=0.5))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(panel.margin.x=unit(1, \"cm\"))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(panel.margin.y=unit(0.5, \"cm\"))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(legend.position=\"none\")\r\ngg <- gg + theme(panel.grid.major.y=element_line(color=\"#b2b2b2\"))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(margin=margin(t=-10)))\r\ngg <- gg + theme(axis.text.y=element_text(margin=margin(r=-10)))\r\n\r\nggplot_with_subtitle(gg, \r\n                     \"The amount of time spent on various tasks by surveyed non-managers in data-science positions.\",\r\n                     fontfamily=\"OpenSans-CondensedLight\", fontsize=12, bottom_margin=16)<\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/RStudioScreenSnapz018.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4130\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4130\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rud.is\/b\/2016\/03\/14\/spinning-cycles-in-box-4-to-take-the-pies-out-of-pi-day\/rstudioscreensnapz018\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/RStudioScreenSnapz018.png?fit=1710%2C1274&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1710,1274\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"RStudioScreenSnapz018\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/RStudioScreenSnapz018.png?fit=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/RStudioScreenSnapz018.png?fit=510%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/RStudioScreenSnapz018.png?w=510&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"RStudioScreenSnapz018\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>>UPDATE: time spent per task factor order was wrong before. now fixed.
