I have spent years building data dashboards for various industries, and I can tell you that a standard pie chart often feels flat. When you are presenting critical data, like the market share of major US tech companies, you need certain segments to pop. In my experience, the Python Matplotlib library provides two specific features … Read more >>
In my years of working as a Python data analyst, I have often found that colors alone aren’t enough to make a chart stand out. Sometimes, you need to differentiate data slices for black-and-white printing or to assist users with color vision deficiencies. Adding patterns, or “hatching,” to your Python Matplotlib pie charts is the … Read more >>
I have found that a pie chart is only as good as its labels. Without clear percentage markers, your audience has to guess the proportions of your data. The autopct parameter in the Matplotlib pie() function is the primary tool we use to display these percentages automatically. It calculates the share of each slice and … Read more >>
In my years of working with data visualization, I have found that a default white background rarely fits a professional dashboard. A well-chosen background color makes your Python Matplotlib pie charts pop and aligns them with your brand’s aesthetic. In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to manipulate the background colors of your pie charts … Read more >>
