#RStats challenge: How to make a pie-beeswarm like this one from the Minnesota Star Tribune showing the relative sizes of ICE/CBP and local police forces?

https://www.startribune.com/how-ice-numbers-compare-to-twin-cities-largest-police-forces/601562617

(Challenge 2: Try not to argue about pie charts in the replies 馃槈)

A data visualization comparing personnel counts using two large, circular clusters of dots where each point represents a single officer. The left cluster forms a solid blue circle representing DHS forces, while the right cluster is segmented into multicolored wedges like a pie chart to distinguish ten different Twin Cities police forces, combining the granularity of a dot-density plot with the sectional geometry of a pie chart.

@noamross Sample random points in polar coordinates applying some constrains to ensure semi equal coverage. Then colour them based on their angle, mapping angle ranges to particular variables.

@noamross
A simple bar chart is far better than this.

@noamross does that convey more information than a conventional pie chart? Do the dots represent something different than the area of the pie slices?

@plantarum Only in that they represent absolute counts.

This is like a quantile dotplot for a dirichlet distribution. @mjskay
