I am interested in making spie charts in matplotlib, as discussed http://www.nabble.com/forum/NewTopic.jtp?forum=2906 here and http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=106 available in R . Additionally, I would like to have a grid of such charts within a single graphic frame, something along the lines of the http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=63 star chart demo in the R gallery, but with spie charts instead of star charts. I have looked at the pie source code in site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py and have an idea of what I need to do. Just wondering if anyone has attempted this and has any tips? If I can get the functionality working well I'll work on contributing the example to the matplotlib gallery. Thanks!

Is this what you are looking for: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_bar.html JDH |

Wow, it is really striking how much better the matplotlib version of this plot is compared to R. Very nice!

You can create multiple columns and rows of subplots using the subplot command. Here is an example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/line_styles.html and here is the subplot tutorial http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/pyplot_tutorial.html#working-with-multiple-figures-and-axes When working with lots-o-subplots, you may want to adjust the spacing between them as well as around the edges with "subplots_adjust" http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/figure_api.html#matplotlib.figure.Figure. subplots_adjust There is also a pyplot command by the same name.

Thinking about my data more and what I am trying to visualize I now think that the spie charts are not appropriate, as they are intended for merging two pie charts based on the same underlying context (e.g. expected proportions vs actual proportions). That being said, I think the polar bar chart example you sent plus the example of how to have a gridded layout of plots will get me what I need. I realize these examples were right there in the gallery, but it helps to have people suggest things sometimes, so thanks again for responding as you did and not (the seemingly typical forum) "RTFM". If what I come up with is different/interesting enough I'll work on submitting it as an example to the matplotlib gallery.
