Pie Charts, How to control pie chart size in figure?

Hi, I am making a simple pie chart that needs to be small ~3x3 inches. The problem I am having is that the text labels get pushed out side the figure. Is there anyway to make the plot smaller relative to the figure size? Here is my code and the resulting plot:

Hi Michael,

If you reduce the axes in size the pie chart will be reduced as well, so maybe
something like
ax = axes([0.25, 0.25, 0.5, 0.5])
is all you need to do. I attached the resulting picture for your interest.

Kind regards,
Matthias
