Matplotlib - Pie Chart

14 Feb Matplotlib – Pie Chart

To plot a pie chart in Matplotlib, use the pie() method. The pyplot.pie() method has the following parameters:

The 1st parameter is x, the wedge sizes are set here
The labels parameter is the sequence of strings providing the labels for each wedge
The third parameter is autopct, a string that labels the wedges with their numeric value. The label will be placed inside the wedge. If autopct is a format string, the label will be fmt % pct

Let us see an example wherein we will plot a pie chart for players scoring runs in a match:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np

# Data

player = np.array(["Tim", "John", "Amit", "Jacob", "Karl", "Gary"])

score = np.array([85, 59, 99, 77, 67, 95 ])

# Plot a pie chart using the pyplot.pie() method

plt.pie(score, labels = player, autopct='%1.2f%%')

# Display the figure

plt.show()

Output
