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.
