Yes, it works perfectly fine, at least for what I wanted... :)
Thanks a lot, to Lars for asking, and to Paul for getting your hands dirty!

PS: I know one shouldn't use pie charts at all... :) but if I do so, is
there a reason
why they work counter-clockwise in R? Is that convention?
Sorry if its a silly question, my intuition (which might very likely be
horrible)
just expected them to start at 12 o'clock and fill the pie clockwisely.
