Matplotlib Tutorial 6 - Pie Charts

Pie charts are a lot like the stack plots, only they are for a certain point in time. Typically, a Pie Chart is used to show parts to the whole, and often a % share. Luckily for us, Matplotlib handles the sizes of the slices and everything, we just feed it the numbers.

This has been by far the easiest tutorial to follow. I look forward to continuing down the list!

Solid videos. Keep it up. Gonna run through your whole Tutorial!

Hey sentdex, thanks for the tutorials. One question, how did you get the specific piece of pie to "explode", do you use the index() of the list?

Thanks!

[sivaramsalivahan]

what is the use of the slices array in this program??

[Banchuba]

Very nice!!! Is it possilbe to change the grey background and the black textcolor?

[SakthiKty]

Please tell me how to find the percentage value in pie chart manually..

[soyounpark]

How can I change the background colour when I save a pie chart?

[DanielJohnNicholson]

Great! I used this to make a pie chart to show the results of the 2015 General Election in any constituency!

for some reasons, I cannot use autopct because it shows invalid syntax for python 3.4.4. Can you tell me how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

How do you calculate value for slices ? from those list values

[edrine]

How would i change the colour of the labels from back to white

[tulikagoyal]

why you did %1.1f%% in autopct, why did you used slices, and what is the use of writing here sleeping = [7, 8, 6, 11, 7] eating = [ ], working = [ ], playing = [ ] pie chart is running on the basis of your slices

[eandean]

hey, thanks for the video. i have a question. how does the value in the lists relates to the pie? is it the sum of the values? thanks

[manugupta]

There are 5 days in days = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] So does the pie chart show average result for all 5 days. I mean it didn't show the days.

Hey, Very Impressed with your way of delivering stuffs.
Thanks Man
Between i couldn't make out how would those values in SLICES list have an impact on the graph.
In other words to be precise are those values chosen by you in the slices list are random or do they have any parameters to be considered before initializing.

Hey @sentdex can you please create a video on nested Pie chart?

[saikrishna-eqcw]

can we create a pie chart by collection data from sqlite database in python

[unnatibamania]

Why 0.1 is the value for removing the slice?

[saimandalo]

your amazing bro .... nice tutorial (Y)

[sushantaggarwal]

Amazing, one question though, how does one know what options for parameters exist, for example, autopct='%1.1f%%', how would one become autonomous enough to figure such instances out. Basically am asking how to go about learning in a way. Should one pick up a book, or are these things more about experience and demand spending time. Would be awesome if you also make a video on how you go about learning new topics (pick up a book, learn from videos, etc.). As always, thanks for the amazing work you have done over the years; because of you, the world has a few more smarter people.
