How to add a legend to a Matplotlib pie chart?
To add a legend to a Matplotlib pie chart, we can take the following steps −
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Make a list of labels, colors, and sizes.
- Use pie() method to get patches and texts with colors and sizes.
- Place a legend on the plot with patches and labels.
- Set equal scaling (i.e., make circles circular) by changing the axis limits.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
labels = ['Walk', 'Talk', 'Sleep', 'Work']
sizes = [23, 45, 12, 20]
colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow']
patches, texts = plt.pie(sizes, colors=colors, shadow=True, startangle=90)
plt.legend(patches, labels, loc="best")
plt.axis('equal')
plt.show()Output
