Python - How to change autopct text color to be white in a pie chart?

Question

pie(fbfrac,labels = fblabel,autopct='%1.1f%%',pctdistance=0.8,startangle=90,colors=fbcolor)

I have the chart displaying just as I want it, with the exception that the text will stand out better inside the plot if it is white instead of black.

Answer 1

Pie object returns patches, texts, autotexts. You can loop through the texts and autotext and set_color.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fblabels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs'
fbfrac = [15, 30, 45, 10]
fbcolor = ["blue", "green", "red", "orange"]


fig, ax = plt.subplots()
patches, texts, autotexts  = ax.pie(fbfrac, labels = fblabels, autopct='%1.1f%%',pctdistance=0.8,startangle=90,colors=fbcolor)
[text.set_color('red') for text in texts]
texts[0].set_color('blue')
[autotext.set_color('white') for autotext in autotexts]

plt.show()

Output

Moreover you can change the color for individual label, accessing the list item, e.g: texts[0].set_color('blue')
