Currently, only percentage labels are supported via `autopct`. Hacky solutions like https://stackoverflow.com/a/48299798/3779655 or https://stackoverflow.com/a/41089685/3779655 exist to retrieve the absolute values based from the fractional ones. It would be better to support it out of the box.\r\n\r\n### Proposed Solution\r\n\r\nAdd option `wedgelabels=None|'percent'|'absolute'|list of strings` together with `wedgelabelfmt` replacing `autopct`.\r\n\r\nFor migration, initialize `wedgelabelfmt=autopct` for `wedgelabels='percent'` and overwrite if `wedgelabelfmt` is set.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/darkdragon-001","@type":"Person","name":"darkdragon-001"},"datePublished":"2021-01-22T09:34:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/19338/matplotlib/issues/19338"}
