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



To change the autopct text color to be white in a pie chart in Matplotlib, we can take the following steps −

  • Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
  • Make a list of hours, activities, and colors to plot pie chart.
  • Make a list of '.Text' instances for the numeric labels, while making the pie chart.
  • Iterate autotexts and set the color of autotext as white.
  • To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True plt.figure() hours = [8, 1, 11, 4] activities = ['sleeping', 'exercise', 'studying', 'working'] colors = ["grey", "green", "orange", "blue"] _, _, autotexts = plt.pie(hours, labels=activities, colors=colors, autopct="%.2f") for ins in autotexts:     ins.set_color('white') plt.show()
