Create Pie Chart Using Plotly in R

To create pie chart using plotly, we first need to find the count data based on categories and then use the plot_ly function by mentioning chart type as "pie".

To find the count data, we can use count function from dplyr package after that plot_ly function will be applied.

Check out the below example to understand how it can be done.

Example

Following snippet creates the mtcars data −

data(mtcars)
head(mtcars,20)

Output

The following mtcars data is created −

                    mpg  cyl disp   hp  drat   wt    qsec   vs am gear carb

To create pie chart using plotly in R, add the following code to the above snippet −

library(dplyr)
Pie_Data<-count(mtcars,am)
Pie_Data

Output

If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following output −

  am  n
