Question

Is there a way to render a 3D pie in matplotlib, or is there a Python package that can generate 3D pies?

EDIT: I actually already knew about pygooglechart, but I’m looking for something that can be done offline. My apologies for forgetting to include this information. For those who offered pygooglechart, thanks for the effort, you have my votes. Question is still open for more ideas.

Answer 1

Sure, you can use pygooglecharts, which is a python wrapper for Google Charts.

PyPi: pygooglechat 0.4.0: Released: Apr 20, 2014

GitHub: pygooglechart: Project Abandoned

For instance:

from pygooglechart import PieChart3D

def python_pie3D() :
  # initialize chart object, 250 x 250 pixels
  chart = PieChart3D(250, 250)

  # pass your data to the chart object
  chart.add_data([398, 294, 840, 462])

  # make labels for the slices
  chart.set_pie_labels("Lithuania Bulgaria Ukraine Romania".split())

  # render the image
  chart.download('revenue_east_europe.png')
