How to do a pie plot with Matplotlib
• 1 minHere is the simplest method to do a pie plot.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(data={"country" : ["Spain", "Germany", "USA", "Spain"]})
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1,1, figsize=(8,6))
# We do a pie plot on the axes
axes.pie(x=df["country"].value_counts(),
labels=df["country"].value_counts().index)
# Fixing the layout to fit the size
fig.tight_layout()
# Showing the plot
plt.show()Note the use of the .value_counts() method that gives the counts of unique values.
