python - How to make a pictogram / icon chart?

Question

Is there a method to produce a pictogram-chart with python (be it with matplotlib, seaborn, ggplot, etc.)? — I am not sure, which term is the most standard-term for this type of graphs, maybe also: square pie chart, pictograph, icon chart, picture chart, pictorial unit chart. R has the package waffle for this. What I mean is something like this:

apples (11): OOOOOOOOOOO

pencils (3): / / /

This type of charts was a fundamental method for Otto Neurath. But how can I plot such a chart with python?

Answer 1

有一个PyWaffle python 包（可在 github 上或通过PyPI的“pip install pywaffle”获得），它利用 matplotlib 创建华夫饼图。
