R help - Sep 2006 - line break in pie chart labels

Hi,

 

Given a pie chart with some really long labels can R insert line breaks
here? Why I imagine is getting a label displayed as

 
> some really extraordinary 
> long and non-ending label
 

Instead of

 
> some really extraordinary long and non-ending label
 

Regards

 

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Try:

pie(1:4,labels=c("The first\nlong label",
  "The second, even\nlonger label",
  "The third, quite\nboring and\nstill longer\nlabel",
  "The fourth, final\nflagrantly\nverbose and\nlongest label\nof the
lot"))
