Hi Julia community, Do you know if there is a way to put multiple pie charts on an existing scatter plot based on the x y position?  
I am trying to create a figure like this with Makie but can’t get it to work.

> Plotting pies on ggplot/ggmap is not an easy task, as ggplot2 doesn’t provide native pie geom. The pie we produced in ggplot2 is actually a barplot transform to polar coordination. This make it difficult if we want to produce a map like the above...

Thank very much in advance!

I just quickly checked the docs and it seemed `pie` is always centered at 0, 0 by default and there’s no attribute to change it. But you should be able to call `Makie.translate!(pieobject, x, y, 0)` to translate each pie to where you need it.

Great! Thanks, I will give it a try!
