Display value in plot "Groups Bars"

Hi

In the following code:

How can I show each bar its value

clc, clear

y = [2 2 3; 2 5 6; 2 8 9; 2 11 12];
bar(y)

for i=1:1:length(y)
    text(i:i,y(i)',num2str(y(i)' ,'%0.2f')),'HorizontalAlignment','center','VerticalAlignment','bottom';
    box off ;
end

I will note that I have the 2019 version that does not support the above solution

TNX :)

xtips1 = b(1).XEndPoints;
ytips1 = b(1).YEndPoints;
labels1 = string(b(1).YData);
text(xtips1,ytips1,labels1,'HorizontalAlignment','center',...
    'VerticalAlignment','bottom')

How to label bar heights for non-stacked bar plots

This demo adds labels above each bar.

To add the labels at the top but within the bars, change VerticalAlignment to Top.

y = [2 2 3; 2 5 6; 2 8 9; 2 11 12];
h = bar(y);

% Get bar centers (tested in 19a)
xCnt = get(h(1),'XData')' + cell2mat(get(h,'XOffset'))'; % XOffset is undocumented!
% For matlab R2019b or later, 
% xCnt = vertcat(h.XEndPoints)';

% Apply labels
text(xCnt(:),y(:),compose('%d',y(:)),'HorizontalAlignment','center','VerticalAlignment','bottom')

% Adjust height if tallest label is outside of axes
ylim([min(ylim),min(ylim)+range(ylim)*1.05])

How to label bar heights for stacked bar plots

• Example 1, stacked
• Example 2, stacked and grouped
• Example 3, stacked, labels each segement

Hi

I noticed that I have a problem with the categorical function

Do you know why it does not work with her?

clc, clear

x = categorical({'Small','Medium','Large','Extra Large'});
x = reordercats(x,{'Small','Medium','Large','Extra Large'});

y = [2 2 3; 2 5 6; 2 8 9; 2 11 12];
h = bar(x,y);

% Get bar centers (rested in 19a)
xCnt = get(h(1),'XData')' + cell2mat(get(h,'XOffset'))'; % XOffset is undocumented!

% Apply labels
text(xCnt(:),y(:),compose('%d',y(:)),'HorizontalAlignment','center','VerticalAlignment','bottom')

% Adjust height if tallest label is outside of axes
ylim([min(ylim),max(ylim)*1.05])

Error message:

Undefined function 'plus' for input arguments of type 'categorical'.

Error in bar plot (line 11)

xCnt = get(h(1),'XData')' + cell2mat(get(h,'XOffset'))'; % XOffset is undocumented!

TNX again

It's much more difficult with categorical variables.

The error is telling you that you can't just apply math to categories. For example, what's small+2?

I suggest you don't use categories and instead, just XTickLabels.

xTickLabels = {'Small','Medium','Large','Extra Large'};

y = [2 2 3; 2 5 6; 2 8 9; 2 11 12];
h = bar(y);
set(gca,'XTick',1:size(y,1),'XTickLabel',xTickLabels)

% Get bar centers (rested in 19a)
xCnt = get(h(1),'XData')' + cell2mat(get(h,'XOffset'))'; % XOffset is undocumented!

% Apply labels
text(xCnt(:),y(:),compose('%d',y(:)),'HorizontalAlignment','center','VerticalAlignment','bottom')

% Adjust height if tallest label is outside of axes
ylim([min(ylim),max(ylim)*1.05])

This is the result I wanted

For me XTickLabelit's is great

thank you very much!
