# tikz pgf place legend pie chart

I am very happy with the solution to Pie chart labels, but I wonder how I can place the legend to the right of the pie. For that, I like the idea of Pie chart with joined legend position - to add, in my version, a style={legend to the east}. But I don't know how to edit it into this MWE.

So, the question is: how can I draw on this code

\tikzset{
legend to the south/.code={
\coordinate[xshift=-1.5cm,
yshift=(\value{pgfpie@sliceLength}*0.5+1)*0.5cm-4em] (legendpos) at
(current bounding box.south);},
}


to place the legend of the following MWE to the east?

• This is all included in the code you post. You only need to change the shift. Try \legend[shift={(2cm,1cm)}]{{Eisverk\"aufer}/comet,{Schwimmbad}/legno, {Zettelverteiler}/coltello,{Kellner}/sedia}. – user194703 May 23 at 21:29
• absolutely, thanks a lot! hmm, if you post it as an answer I will accept it; or, alternatively, I guess, I should delete or close the question. – ingli May 23 at 21:32
• I leave the decision to you. Obviously I have tried out the suggestion so I would have a code that I could post. – user194703 May 23 at 21:34
• please do post the code - will accept it – ingli May 23 at 21:39

In the spirit of

Never repair a working code.

I only changed the shift parameters to get
