How to Draw a Pie Plot
Explore how to draw pie charts in Matplotlib by using the pie() function to visualize categorical data proportions. Learn to customize slices with labels, percentages via autopct, and emphasizes with explode. Understand how to create nested pie charts to compare multiple datasets effectively.
What is pie?
Pie charts are often used to highlight the proportion of categorical data in relation to the overall value of a dataset. Pie charts are shaped like a pie, and each category that takes up a part of the pie is shaped like a slice. The larger the slice, the greater the proportion of the overall values it represents.
Now, let’s learn how to make some delicious pies.
