smpl.plot.bar_label¶

smpl.plot.bar_label(container, labels=None, *, fmt='%g', label_type='edge', padding=0, **kwargs)[source]¶

Label a bar plot.

Adds labels to bars in the given .BarContainer. You may need to adjust the axis limits to fit the labels.

Parameters¶

container.BarContainer

Container with all the bars and optionally errorbars, likely returned from .bar or .barh.

labelsarray-like, optional

A list of label texts, that should be displayed. If not given, the label texts will be the data values formatted with fmt.

fmtstr, default: ‘%g’

A format string for the label.

label_type{‘edge’, ‘center’}, default: ‘edge’

The label type. Possible values:

‘edge’: label placed at the end-point of the bar segment, and the value displayed will be the position of that end-point.
‘center’: label placed in the center of the bar segment, and the value displayed will be the length of that segment. (useful for stacked bars, i.e., /gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/bar_label_demo)

paddingfloat, default: 0

Distance of label from the end of the bar, in points.

**kwargs

Any remaining keyword arguments are passed through to .Axes.annotate. The alignment parameters ( horizontalalignment / ha, verticalalignment / va) are not supported because the labels are automatically aligned to the bars.

Returns¶

list of .Text: A list of .Text instances for the labels.
