Python matplotlib.pyplot pie charts: How to remove the label on the left side?

Solution 1
You could just set the ylabel
by calling pylab.ylabel
:
pylab.ylabel('')
or
pylab.axes().set_ylabel('')
In your example, plt.axes().set_ylabel('')
will not work because you dont have import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
in your code, so plt
doesn't exist.
Alternatively, the groups.plot
command returns the Axes
instance, so you could use that to set the ylabel
:
ax=groups.plot(kind='pie', shadow=True)
ax.set_ylabel('')
Solution 2
Or:
groups.plot(kind='pie', shadow=True, ylabel=''
)
Solution 3
Add label="" argument when using the plot function
groups.plot(kind='pie', shadow=True,label="")

I plot a piechart using pyplot.
import pylab import pandas as pd test = pd.Series(['male', 'male', 'male', 'male', 'female'], name="Sex") test = test.astype("category") groups = test.groupby([test]).agg(len) groups.plot(kind='pie', shadow=True) pylab.show()
The result:
However, I'm unable to remove the label on the left (marked red in the picture). I already tried
plt.axes().set_xlabel('')
and
plt.axes().set_ylabel('')
but that did not work.
