Resolved: Adding Labels for each Bar in Python
How can I add Labels/Values for each bars in the chart and how to change the color of the labels in python
Hi Sharfuddin,
thanks for reaching out! You can check out this tutorial in geeksforgeeks where you can see how to add labels to each column in your bar chart:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/adding-value-labels-on-a-matplotlib-bar-chart/
To change the colors of labels in matplotlib you can add a color argument, like so:
plt.ylabel("Number of Listings", fontsize = 13, color = 'blue' )
Hope this helps!
Best,

Hi Sharfuddin, i found that in the actual matplotlib (3.8.2), you can use plt.bar_label: matplotlib.pyplot.bar_label — Matplotlib 3.8.2 documentation:
# Horizontal bar chart
xy_size = 13
plt.figure(figsize=(9, 6))
bplot = plt.barh(y=df_used_cars['Brand'],
width=df_used_cars['Cars Listings'],
color='midnightblue')
plt.title('Used Cars Advertisements by Brand',
fontdict={'size': xy_size + 2,
'weight': 'bold'},
loc='left')
plt.yticks(rotation=45, fontsize=xy_size)
plt.xlabel('Number of Advertisements', fontsize=xy_size)
plt.bar_label(bplot,
fontweight='bold',
color='midnightblue',
padding=4)
plt.savefig('3_homework_I_barh', bbox_inches='tight')
plt.show()
