[R] Tart charts

[Michael Friendly]

Try this alternative:

# from http://research.microsoft.com/users/lamport/pubs/hair.pdf
hairsex <- matrix(
    c(46, 45, 13, 12,
       1, 101, 0, 20), 2, 4, byrow=TRUE)
dimnames(hairsex) <- list("Gender"=c("Female", "Male"),
		"Hair color"=c("Blond", "Brown", "Red", "Other") )

library(vcd)
mosaic(hairsex, shade=TRUE)

There are uses for pie charts, but this isn't one of the better ones.
