Problem

I would like to show a label displaying the absolute numbers used to create the pie chart. Currently, only percentage labels are supported viaautopct. Hacky solutions likehttps://stackoverflow.com/a/48299798/3779655 orhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/41089685/3779655 exist to retrieve the absolute values based from the fractional ones. It would be better to support it out of the box.

Proposed Solution

Add optionwedgelabels=None|'percent'|'absolute'|list of strings together withwedgelabelfmt replacingautopct.

For migration, initializewedgelabelfmt=autopct forwedgelabels='percent' and overwrite ifwedgelabelfmt is set.
