Have you read FAQ 7.27?

Generally I avoid responding to questions about pie charts. I'm pretty  
sure this is not in base R anyway, so your first duty is to name the  
package from which you have obtained 'pie3d'. (Although, I'm even less  
likely to offer advice about whatever it is supposed to do.)

No documentation for ‘pie3d’ in specified packages and libraries:
you could try ‘??pie3d’

Suspecting that this was one of Jim Lemon's efforts, I did see with >   
help(package=plotrix) that plotrix has a 'pie3d' and that it also has  
a 'pie3d.labels' function.
