Add Other Elements

Although PyWaffle provides parameters like title and legend to add elements, it is only for plotting waffle charts after all. To add other elements and make a fancy plot, you can update the figure directly or use the methods provided by Figure class.

In the following example, we use text() method to add a custom watermark to the figure.

fig = plt.figure(
    FigureClass=Waffle,
    rows=5,
    values=[30, 16, 4]
)
fig.text(
    x=0.5,
    y=0.5,
    s="Sample",
    ha="center",
    va="center",
    rotation=30,
    fontsize=40,
    color='gray',
    alpha=0.3,
    bbox={
        'boxstyle': 'square', 
        'lw': 3, 
        'ec': 'gray', 
        'fc': (0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.5), 
        'alpha': 0.3
    }
)

You may also use method like add_artist to add custom objects, which is not a method of PyWaffle, but its parent class matplotlib.figure.Figure. See matplotlib.figure.Figure for all available methods.
