[R] pie chart in lattice - trellis class

[Christos Hatzis]

In case you haven't seen this, there is an example in Paul Murrell's book
that plots temperatures on a map using 'thermometer' charts.  I would
imagine it should be relatively straight forward to combine the floating.pie
function with Paul's grid-base code (but I have not tried it myself).

See Figure 7.18 and code
