percent label position in pie chart
matplotlib, pie-chart, plot-annotations, python
Solution
You can control the distance of the percents and labels from the center of the pie using `pctdistance=` and `labeldistance=`, try this on your code:
plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, autopct='%1.0f%%', pctdistance=1.1, labeldistance=1.2)
You can also set a radius of the pie using `radius=` (by default is 1)
Problem
Is there a way to change the default position of the percent label in a matplotlib pie chart? Here is an example pie chart: Which I have created using: ``` plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, colors=colors, explode=explode, autopct='%1.0f%%') ``` Now I don't like how some percent labels are intruding on other sections teritory (actually the only perpitrator in this example is the 9m section). Ideally I would like such labels to be outside the pie chart with an arrow of some sort pointing to the section, or alternativly just outside the section.
