P.S.
I have found that I can mitigate the problem by changing the axes: changing,
ax = pylab.axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8])
to
ax = pylab.axes([0.2, 0.2, 0.6, 0.6])
shrinks almost everything towards the center, meaning that some things no longer get cut off.
(But this is at the expense of a smaller overall picture, that isn’t doing quite the same job graphically.)
This offers a partial workaround, but it’s nowhere near so good as it would be to move the labels inward so they don’t get cut off (while keeping the pie graph at a preferred size for the graph itself).

The pie chart sometimes cuts off even relatively short labels that extend

What is the best way to dodge labels getting cut off, or is there not much
of a good way?
TIA,
I think I am facing a similar problem. I would like to auto-adjust the
chart frame.
For example, doing this, the title is cropped :
import pylab
pylab.plot([1,2,3])
pylab.title(‘Big One’, fontsize=72)
pylab.show()
