Hello everyone,

I’m developping an application with Dash and I noticed this:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/2X/1/1de9b4ff0cf6b59da285465b9ed9f577d7a0aa82.png)

I have the label (title) of my categories on the **px.bar** , but not in the **px.pie**. I looked at the Plotly Express website and I did not find a pie chart with a label.

So I’m just wondering if this is possible, and, if yes, how?

My two codes:

```auto
fig_1 = px.bar(tmp_graph_6, x="Catégorie", y="Impact (%)", color="Catégorie", title='Impact par étapes du cycle de vie (%)')
 
fig_2 = px.pie(tmp_graph_4, values="Percentage", names='Ingredients', title='Impact par ingrédient (%)')

```

Thank you very much!

Alpy

Hi @Alpy,

I don’t know why it doesn’t show by default in a pie chart by you can just add the legend title manually:

```auto
fig_2.update_layout(legend_title='Catégorie')

```

Salut, Alex-

That seems like a bug we should fix, I’ll try to get it into the next release 🙂

See [https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/2966](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/2966) for follow-up.
