Removing column name when using df.columnname.value_counts(kind='pie)

Question

I've made a pie chart using:

df = pd.DataFrame({'columnname': ['yes', 'yes', 'no', 'maybe']})

df.columnname.value_counts().plot(kind='pie', autopct='%1.1f%%', figsize=(10,10))

Everything is how I want it to be except it has "columnname" floating vertically off to the left.

I've tried to find what that parameter is called in the matplotlib documentation, but can't figure out what it's called to take it out.

What is that parameter called, and how do I get rid of it?

You did not provide any data, any figure, any code. We do not even know what is "floating vertically off to the left". How do you expect people to guess what you are referring to?

Try: `df.columnname.value_counts().plot(kind='pie', autopct='%1.1f%%', figsize=(10,10), label='')` — Scott Boston, Apr 29 '19 at 20:27

Try using the label parameter in plot.

df.columnname.value_counts().plot(kind='pie', autopct='%1.1f%%', figsize=(10,10), label='')

Or, this is the y-axis label, you can hide it using

ax = df.columnname.value_counts().plot(kind='pie', autopct='%1.1f%%', figsize=(10,10))
ax.yaxis.set_visible(False)
