Hi all –
I’m new to Matplotlib, and it looks like a great project, but I’m having trouble figuring out one thing.
I would like to draw a pie chart, but have each wedge appear to have thickness. I see from the examples and the docs that it is possible to draw a wedge in relief so that it appears to cast a shadow, but I don’t see how to make it look something like this. Pardon my bad ascii art.

Is there a way to do this?

You need to define your own path (or you may combine a wedge and rectangles).
This may be helpful.
