Pie chart with options to manage popout, slices ,layout by using data from MySQL or SQLite database in PDF file by using Python ReportLab

Pie chart in Python PDF using ReportLab with data from SQLite or MySQL database with options

Pie Chart with options

from reportlab.graphics.charts.piecharts import Pie

Here we have two set of data used to generate Pie Chart.

pc.data = [10,20,30,40,50,60]
pc.labels = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']

Using this data the graph is here.
Pie graph in PDF file

In this format we can collect sample data from SQLite or MySQL database and display the graph.
Full code is here. Different options are explained using the comment section.

from reportlab.lib import colors
my_path='G:\\My drive\\testing\\pypdf2\\my_pdf.pdf' 
from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing
from reportlab.graphics.charts.piecharts import Pie
from student_data import my_classes,my_Nos
d=Drawing(800,800) # width, height
pc=Pie()

pc.x = 120
pc.y = 300
pc.width = 400
pc.height = 400
#pc.data = [10,20,30,40,50,60]
#pc.labels = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']
pc.data=my_Nos
pc.labels=my_classes
pc.sideLabels=0
pc.simpleLabels=0
pc.slices.strokeWidth=0.5
pc.slices[3].popout = 10
pc.slices[3].strokeWidth = 2
pc.slices[3].strokeDashArray = [2,2]
pc.slices[3].labelRadius = 1.3
pc.slices[3].fontColor = colors.red
pc.slices[3].fontSize = 26
d.add(pc)

from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF
renderPDF.drawToFile(d, my_path, '')

Pie Chart using data from Database Table

Pie graph from different Data sources PDF file

We will use SQLite database student table.
Script can easily changed to get data from MySQL database table.
Download sample SQLite database with student table
We can also use MySQL database.
Full student table with SQL Dump for MySQL database.

student_data.py

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
my_conn = create_engine("sqlite:///G:\\My Drive\\testing\\my_db\\my_db.db")
#my_conn = create_engine("mysql+mysqldb://userid:pw@localhost/my_tutorial")
q="SELECT class,count(*) as no  FROM student GROUP BY class"
my_cursor=my_conn.execute(q)   # getting record set 
my_result=my_cursor.fetchall() # create a list 
my_classes = [row[0] for row in my_result] # class as list 
my_Nos = [row[1] for row in my_result]   # number of student in class as list
# print(my_classes,my_Nos) # for checking output

We will connect to above code and get the variables my_classes and my_Nos.

from student_data import my_classes,my_Nos

Using data sources for drawing Pie chart

pc.data=my_Nos
pc.labels=my_classes

Full code of our Main file using database data as source is here.

from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing
from reportlab.graphics.charts.piecharts import Pie
from student_data import my_classes,my_Nos

d=Drawing(800,800) # width , height
pc = Pie()
pc.x = 120
pc.y = 300
pc.width = 400
pc.height = 400
#pc.data = [10,20,30,40,50,60]
pc.data=my_Nos
#pc.labels = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']
pc.labels=my_classes
pc.sideLabels=0
pc.simpleLabels=0
pc.slices.strokeWidth=0.5
pc.slices[3].popout = 3
pc.slices[3].strokeWidth = 2
pc.slices[3].strokeDashArray = [2,2]
pc.slices[3].labelRadius = 1.1
pc.slices[3].fontColor = colors.red
pc.slices[3].fontSize = 26

d.add(pc)
from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF
renderPDF.drawToFile(d, my_path, '')
