In addition to the basic pie chart, this demo shows a few optional features: * slice labels * auto-labeling the percentage * offsetting a slice with "explode" * drop-shadow * custom start angle Note about the custom start angle: The default ``startangle`` is 0, which would start the "Frogs" slice on the positive x-axis. This example sets ``startangle = 90`` such that everything is rotated counter-clockwise by 90 degrees, and the frog slice starts on the positive y-axis. """ import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # The slices will be ordered and plotted counter-clockwise. labels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs' sizes = [15, 30, 45, 10] colors = ['yellowgreen', 'gold', 'lightskyblue', 'lightcoral'] explode = (0, 0.1, 0, 0) # only "explode" the 2nd slice (i.e. 'Hogs') plt.pie(sizes, explode=explode, labels=labels, colors=colors, autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True, startangle=90) # Set aspect ratio to be equal so that pie is drawn as a circle. plt.axis('equal') plt.show() Keywords: python, matplotlib, pylab, example, codex (see :ref:`how-to-search-examples`)
