I have the following data set, some R code I generated to plot a 3-level nested pie-donut chart, and the resulting plot.

# Load necessary libraries
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(viridis)

# Read the data
data <- read.csv("Book1.csv")

# Aggregate data by Family, Genus, and Species
family_count <- data %>%
  group_by(Family) %>%
  summarise(Total = sum(Total), .groups = 'drop') %>%
  mutate(Level = "Family")

genus_count <- data %>%
  group_by(Family, Genus) %>%
  summarise(Total = sum(Total), .groups = 'drop') %>%
  mutate(Level = "Genus")

species_count <- data %>%
  group_by(Family, Genus, Species) %>%
  summarise(Total = sum(Total), .groups = 'drop') %>%
  mutate(Level = "Species")

# Combine the data for all three levels
combined_data <- bind_rows(
  family_count %>% mutate(Group = Family),
  genus_count %>% mutate(Group = paste(Family, Genus, sep = " - ")),
  species_count %>% mutate(Group = paste(Family, Genus, Species, sep = " - "))
)

# Assign each level to a different radius
combined_data <- combined_data %>%
  mutate(radius = case_when(
    Level == "Family" ~ 3,
    Level == "Genus" ~ 2,
    Level == "Species" ~ 1
  ))

# Create the pie-donut chart
ggplot(combined_data, aes(x = factor(radius), y = Total, fill = Group)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity", width = 1, color = "white") +
  coord_polar(theta = "y") +
  scale_fill_viridis(discrete = TRUE, option = "D") +
  theme_void() +
  theme(legend.position = "none") +
  geom_text(aes(label = Group), position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5), size = 2.5) +
  annotate("text", x = 0, y = 0, label = "Labops", size = 6, fontface = "bold", color = "black") +
  annotate("rect", xmin = -0.5, xmax = 0.5, ymin = -0.5, ymax = 0.5, fill = "white")

As the figure of the output shows, the middle and inner layers have the full Group names, which were used to help ensure the nested levels are aligned. I am struggling to find a solution that would remove the, e.g., “Poaceae – ” from the middle and “Poaceae – Agropyron – ” from the inner levels, without causing those layers to become unaligned with the outer levels. I would also prefer to have the Total for those slices included in the labels too. There are other things I’d like to fix, like centering “Labops”, narrowing that really wide white gap at top and have labels that don’t fit nicely in their slices to be plotted outside the chart and pointed to their slices by a line, but my main concern (and the only thing I’m expecting assistance with) is the format of these labels.
