.. _sphx_glr_gallery_pie_and_polar_charts_pie_features.py: =============== Basic pie chart =============== Demo of a basic pie chart plus a few additional features. 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. .. image:: /gallery/pie_and_polar_charts/images/sphx_glr_pie_features_001.png :align: center .. code-block:: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Pie chart, where the slices will be ordered and plotted counter-clockwise: labels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs' sizes = [15, 30, 45, 10] explode = (0, 0.1, 0, 0) # only "explode" the 2nd slice (i.e. 'Hogs') fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots() ax1.pie(sizes, explode=explode, labels=labels, autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True, startangle=90) ax1.axis('equal') # Equal aspect ratio ensures that pie is drawn as a circle. plt.show() **Total running time of the script:** ( 0 minutes 0.021 seconds) .. only :: html .. container:: sphx-glr-footer .. container:: sphx-glr-download :download:`Download Python source code: pie_features.py ` .. container:: sphx-glr-download :download:`Download Jupyter notebook: pie_features.ipynb ` .. only:: html .. rst-class:: sphx-glr-signature `Gallery generated by Sphinx-Gallery `_
