I am trying to create a proportional Venn Diagram with three groups. I searched the web and tried with 3 different packages: Venndiagram, venneuler and eulerr. However, with none it seems that it creates a correct proportional diagram. Can anyone help how to do this?

I tried with Venndiagram package:

library(Venndiagram)
draw.triple.venn(58, 44, 37, 44, 27, 37, 27, c("A", "B", "C"), euler.d = TRUE, scaled = TRUE)

Although scaled = TRUE, this gave me the following diagram: enter image description here

When using venneuler package:

library(venneuler)
v <- venneuler(c(A = 4, B = 0, C = 0, "A&B" = 10, "A&C" = 17, "B&C" = 0, "A&B&C" = 27))
plot(v)

enter image description here

This seemed to work better. However, as you can see, there is an area of B and C outside of A although this needs to be 0. Maybe this is impossible with circles?

You are right, it is impossible with circles. However, if you're willing to use ellipses instead, the latest development version of eulerr (that I happen to the be creator of) can help you.

devtools::install_github("jolars/eulerr")

v <- eulerr::euler(c(A = 4, B = 0, C = 0,
                     "A&B" = 10, "A&C" = 17, "B&C" = 0, "A&B&C" = 27),
                   shape = "ellipse")
plot(v)

yields

Which is a perfect fit.

  • Thanks, this option seems perfect! However, when I run the command >devtools::install_github("jolars/eulerr") an error occures. I have posted it above (didn't fit in one comment, sorry) Do you know what happens here? Do I need to install additional packages? – mswalma Oct 29 '17 at 17:33
  • I know next to nothing about OSX, but are you maybe missing clang? – Johan Larsson Oct 29 '17 at 18:16
  • Rectangles will also work :-) – paxdiablo May 31 '23 at 20:01
