    """
    Demo of a basic pie chart plus a few additional features.
    
    In addition to the basic pie chart, this demo shows a few optional features:
    
        * slice labels
        * auto-labeling the percentage
        * offsetting a slice with "explode"
        * drop-shadow
        * custom start angle
    
    Note about the custom start angle:
    
    The default ``startangle`` is 0, which would start the "Frogs" slice on the
    positive x-axis. This example sets ``startangle = 90`` such that everything is
    rotated counter-clockwise by 90 degrees, and the frog slice starts on the
    positive y-axis.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    
    
    # The slices will be ordered and plotted counter-clockwise.
    labels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs'
    sizes = [15, 30, 45, 10]
    colors = ['yellowgreen', 'gold', 'lightskyblue', 'lightcoral']
    explode = (0, 0.1, 0, 0) # only "explode" the 2nd slice (i.e. 'Hogs')
    
    plt.pie(sizes, explode=explode, labels=labels, colors=colors,
            autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True, startangle=90)
    # Set aspect ratio to be equal so that pie is drawn as a circle.
    plt.axis('equal')
    plt.show()
