I have been playing with this for a couple days and everything seems to work except for a couple issues. You can actually simply center the label by adding 'align=center' as such ax.bar(x,[1,2,3,4,5,6], width=width, align='center') The first problem I am having is to have each pie have a fixed angle and prevent overlapping. I have 16 coordinates and I need each pie to be 22.5 degrees. There doesn't seem to be anything in the documentation about this. The next problem is to have the angles start with 0 at the top and go clockwise like a regular compass. I am trying to make a wind rose with speed/direction. Let me know if you come across anything.
