A pie plot is a proportional representation of the numerical data in acolumn. This function wrapsmatplotlib.pyplot.pie() for thespecified column. If no column reference is passed andsubplots=True a pie plot is drawn for each numerical columnindependently.

Examples

In the example below we have a DataFrame with the information aboutplanet’s mass and radius. We pass the ‘mass’ column to thepie function to get a pie plot.

>>>df=pd.DataFrame({'mass':[0.330,4.87,5.97],...'radius':[2439.7,6051.8,6378.1]},...index=['Mercury','Venus','Earth'])>>>plot=df.plot.pie(y='mass',figsize=(5,5))

>>>plot=df.plot.pie(subplots=True,figsize=(11,6))
