plt.title('Survival Rate')
plt.pie(total_survival, labels=[str(survival_percent) + "% " + "survived", str(100- survival_percent) + "% " + "died"])
I am trying to add a title to a pie chart but am getting this error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-250-7e0f3cd8c625> in <module>()
----> 1 plt.title('Survival Rate')
2 plt.pie(total_survival, labels=[str(survival_percent) + "% " + "survived", str(100- survival_percent) + "% " + "died"])
3
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
All resources that I have seen online write their title as a string within parentheses and don't include it as an argument in plt.pie() so I'm not sure where I am going wrong.
The following code works fine:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
survival_percent = 67
total_survival = [67,33]
plt.title('Survival Rate')
plt.pie(total_survival, labels=[str(survival_percent) + "% " + "survived", str(100- survival_percent) + "% " + "died"])
plt.show()
The error you get is therefore produced by part of the code that you don't show here.
We can now only guess, but the error 'str' object is not callable suggests, that you have redefined plt.title to a string.
This could happen if for example somewhere in your code you wrote something like
plt.title = 'Survival Rate'
(which is of course not reasonable) then later on calling (correctly)
plt.title('Survival Rate') would result in the error you get.
I was getting the same error. What you'd want to do is restart your kernel (if you're running it in Jupiter notebooks) and run your code again. It should fix it.
