Please don’t use pie charts in your professional life. Humans are terrible at eyeballing proportions. Pie charts are only effective with heavy labeling, in which case you may as well just tabulate the percentages of each category.
I also would like to know this, from my point of view, if anything a tilted chart should be an option, not the norm. Maybe there’s something we’re not seeing here?
Is this phenomenon, that the pyplot pie chart appears tilted by default, a feature of the Codecademy environment (codecademylib library)? I haven’t seen allusions to this pie tilting phenomenon anywhere else. Also, in the w3schools environment the tilting doesn’t happen, and without calling plt.axis().
