Example 1: bar labeling in matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
plt.style.use('ggplot')
x = ['Nuclear', 'Hydro', 'Gas', 'Oil', 'Coal', 'Biofuel']
energy = [5, 6, 15, 22, 24, 8]
x_pos = [i for i, _ in enumerate(x)]
plt.bar(x_pos, energy, color='green')
plt.xlabel("Energy Source")
plt.ylabel("Energy Output (GJ)")
plt.title("Energy output from various fuel sources")
plt.xticks(x_pos, x)
plt.show()
Example 2: adding labels to histogram bars in matplotlib
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
frequencies = [6, -16, 75, 160, 244, 260, 145, 73, 16, 4, 1]
freq_series = pd.Series.from_array(frequencies)
x_labels = [108300.0, 110540.0, 112780.0, 115020.0, 117260.0, 119500.0,
121740.0, 123980.0, 126220.0, 128460.0, 130700.0]
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
ax = freq_series.plot(kind='bar')
ax.set_title('Amount Frequency')
ax.set_xlabel('Amount ($)')
ax.set_ylabel('Frequency')
ax.set_xticklabels(x_labels)
def add_value_labels(ax, spacing=5):
"""Add labels to the end of each bar in a bar chart.
Arguments:
ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes): The matplotlib object containing the axes
of the plot to annotate.
spacing (int): The distance between the labels and the bars.
"""
for rect in ax.patches:
y_value = rect.get_height()
x_value = rect.get_x() + rect.get_width() / 2
space = spacing
va = 'bottom'
if y_value < 0:
space *= -1
va = 'top'
label = "{:.1f}".format(y_value)
ax.annotate(
label,
(x_value, y_value),
xytext=(0, space),
textcoords="offset points",

va=va)
add_value_labels(ax)
plt.savefig("image.png")
