ENH: support pie plot in series and dataframe plot

[sinhrks]

Related to #413, added pie plot for Series.plot and DataFrame.plot kind.

If data includes NaN, it will be automatically filled by 0. If data contains negative value, ValueError will be raised.

import pandas as pd import numpy as np series = pd.Series(3 * np.random.rand(4), index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], name='series') series.plot(kind='pie') 

Plotting with DataFrame

Pie plot with DataFrame requires either to specify target column by y argument or subplots=True. When y is specified, pie plot of selected column will be drawn. If subplots=True is specified, pie plots for each columns are drawn as subplots. Legend will be drawn in each pie plots by default, specify legend=False to hide it.

df = pd.DataFrame(3 * np.random.rand(4, 2), index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], columns=['x', 'y']) df.plot(kind='pie', subplots=True) 

Plotting with Options

You can use labels and colors keywords to specify labels and colors of each wedges (Cannot use label and color, because of matplotlib's specification). If you want to hide wedge labels, specify labels=None. If fontsize is specified, the value will be applied to wedge labels. Also, other keywords supported by matplotlib.pyplot.pie can be used.

series.plot(kind='pie', labels=['AA', 'BB', 'CC', 'DD'], colors=['r', 'g', 'b', 'c'], autopct='%.2f', fontsize=20)

@TomAugspurger I think it makes sense to make an additional sectin in plotting.rst to have basic/additional plots/advanced plots? (additional section is getting kind of long)?

[jreback]

@sinhrks pls rebase (actually you might need to do most of your PR's as I merged one of them)

[jorisvandenbossche]

@sinhrks For clarity: I am right the labels and colors keywords are keywords of the matplotlib's pie function, that are just passed to pie? (because otherwise I wouldn't be that fond of adding further new keywords to the already overlaoded pandas plot method)

[jorisvandenbossche]

Can you refer here by using :func:matplotlib.pyplot.pie``, then it will generate a link to its docs and you can directly inspect what other parameters you can use. Just need to add matplotlib in the list of intersphinx here (https://github.com/pydata/pandas/blob/master/doc/source/conf.py#L281)

[sinhrks]

Yep, labels and colors are derived from matplotlib.pyplot.pie. Also, I've modified the doc to link matplotlib.org.

[TomAugspurger]

@jreback I'll reorganize plotting.rst before .14

gr8 thanks

[TomAugspurger]

Thanks @sinhrks. I retriggered the Travis build.

It's not great that we need to use colors instead of color here, but I agree that going with matplotlib's naming and documentation is the best way.

A nice feature would be to specify the layout if using subplots. But that can wait for another PR.

This should merge cleanly once the Travis is done.

[TomAugspurger]

One more thing (not specific to this PR). Should we warn if a user passes an argument that we ignore in _args_adjust? Right now we just silently ignore it (I think).

[sinhrks]

@TomAugspurger Yes, it is better. Is it OK to show warnings only when explicitly change any options which collapses plot?

I mean, there are some options not used / not supported in Pie, such as secondary_y etc.

[TomAugspurger]

I'm not sure what you mean by collapsing the plot. Do you mean like: s.pie(secondary_y=True)? I agree with what I think you're saying about only warning if a user explicitly changes from a default, and that change is ignored. But let's open a separate issue for this. The pie plot PR is good to go. Thanks.

New issue for the warnings: #7045
