R: How to overlay pie charts on 'dots' in a scatterplot in R
Yes. pieGlyph()
is one ready-to-go function from the Rgraphviz
package.
Also, I would check out this Q/A for how to do things like this more generally:
How to fill a single 'pch' point on the plot with two-colours?
Especially check out ?my.symbols
from the TeachingDemos
package.
Lastly, in regards to ggplot2
, you should check out this blog post about possible upcoming features:

The code on pp 10-11 sets up the main plot axes, labels and legend, and then opens a series of smaller windows centered at each individual point on the plot and plots a small graph in each window. I've tried pie charts, mosaics and barplots, but the method is not limited to these types.
