How To Align Annotations At The End Of A Horizontal Bar Plot

I'm trying to correctly align the numbers and percentages in the barplots I'm making so that they're exactly after each bar, but having some troubles trying to do so. I want the: '

Solution 1:

matplotlib >= 3.4.2

• This can be accomplished more succinctly by using .bar_label()
  • This annotation requires a custom label, so use the labels parameter
  • Bar Label Demo
• The labels list comprehension uses an assignment expression (:=), which requires python >= 3.8.

defautolabel(rects, axes):
    labels = [f'{w} ({int(round(w/102*100))}%)'for rect in rects if (w := rect.get_width()) isnotNone]
    axes.bar_label(rects, labels=labels, label_type='edge', fontsize=8, padding=3)

matplotlib < 3.4.2

• rect.get_y() + rect.get_height() / 2 see that rect.get_height() needs to be divided by 2.
• Change to va='center_baseline' and add fontsize=8

defautolabel(rects, axes):
    for rect in rects:
        width = rect.get_width()
        perc=int(round(width/102*100))
        axes.annotate(f'{width} ({perc}%)',
                      xy=(width, rect.get_y() + rect.get_height() / 2), 
                      xytext=(0, 0),
                      textcoords="offset points",
                      ha='left', va='center_baseline', fontsize=8)


autolabel(rects1, axes[0])
autolabel(rects2, axes[0])
