Is there a way to change the default position of the percent label in a matplot lib pie chart?
Here is an example pie chart:
Which I have created using:
plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, colors=colors, explode=explode, autopct='%1.0f%%') Now I don't like how some percent labels are intruding on other sections teritory (actually the only perpitrator in this example is the 9m section). Ideally I would like such labels to be outside the pie chart with an arrow of some sort pointing to the section, or alternativly just outside the section.

To add percentages to each of the constitutents of the pie chart, we add in the line, autopct='%1.1f%%', to the plt. pie() function. This formats the percentage to the tenth place.
Use legend() method to avoid overlapping of labels and autopct. To display the figure, use show() method.
autopct enables you to display the percent value using Python string formatting. For example, if autopct='%. 2f' , then for each pie wedge, the format string is '%. 2f' and the numerical percent value for that wedge is pct , so the wedge label is set to the string '%.
You can control the distance of the percents and labels from the center of the pie using pctdistance= and labeldistance=, try this on your code:
plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, autopct='%1.0f%%', pctdistance=1.1, labeldistance=1.2) You can also set a radius of the pie using radius= (by default is 1)
