Percentage inside the pie chart instead of count

Question

My data frame

dput(d)
structure(list(x = c("Organonitrogen compound metabolic process", 
"Cellular process", "Nitrogen compound metabolic process", "Primary metabolic process", 
"Organic substance biosynthetic process", "Metabolic process", 
"Cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process", "Cellular metabolic process", 
"Organic substance metabolic process", "Cellular biosynthetic process"
), freq = c(71, 119, 87, 89, 52, 94, 42, 89, 89, 49)), row.names = c(NA, 
-10L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

The code I'm running to generate the pie chart

d$perc <- round(100 * d$freq / sum(d$freq))

ggplot(data = d, aes(x = 0, y = freq, fill = x)) + 
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  geom_text(aes(label =  perc), position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) +
  scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0,0)) +
  labs(fill = 'Type', x = NULL, y = NULL, title = 'Pathway Pie chart', subtitle = 'percentages') +
  coord_polar(theta = "y") +
  theme_minimal()

I get something like this

But I would like to see something like this.

Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated

Answer 1

scales::percent() is designed for this. Try

geom_text(aes(label = scales::percent(freq/sum(freq), 1)),
          position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) +

Because you have calculated the percentage as perc, you can pass it into percent() directly. (Beware of its args accuracy and scale. In your case they both should be 1)

geom_text(aes(label = scales::percent(perc, 1, 1)),
          position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) +

You can search ?scales::percent to see more args to adjust.
