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 >>
