To remove labels from a Matplotlib pie chart based on a condition, we can take the following steps −
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create a Pandas dataframe of wwo-dimensional, size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data.
- Plot a pie chart, using pie() method with conditional removal of labels, such that if %age value is greater than 25, then only keep labels, otherwise remove them.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import pandas as pd from matplotlib import pyplot as plt # Set the figure size plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True # Create a Pandas dataframe df = pd.DataFrame( { 'activities': ['sleep', 'exercise', 'work', 'study'], 'hours': [8, 1, 9, 4] } ) # Pie chart with conditional removal of labels df.set_index('activities').plot.pie(y='hours', legend=False, autopct=lambda p: format(p, '.2f') if p > 25 else None) plt.show()
Output
It will produce the following output
Notice that the pie chart shows the labels only when the percentage of value is greater than 25 (as per the condition). Since the values of "exercise" and "study" are less then 25, the pie chart doesn't reflect those labels.
