How to Display Values on Top of Bars in a Pandas Bar Plot

Creating visualizations from data is crucial for understanding trends and patterns. In this guide, we will explore how to plot a bar graph using the Pandas library and Matplotlib, and then display additional information on top of each bar.

Problem Overview

You may find yourself needing to represent data in a bar graph format. For instance, if you have demographic data like populations of different countries in a dictionary, you can easily plot that data. But, what if you want to enhance the visualization? Specifically, let’s say you have a second dictionary that contains counter values that you wish to show on top of each bar.

Here's an example:

While you can plot your population data, displaying the counter values neatly is a different challenge. Let’s walk through the solution.

Solution Steps

Step 1: Sort the Population Dictionary

To align the counter values correctly, start by sorting the population_dct in descending order. This ensures the corresponding values you want to display will match up correctly with their respective bars.

Step 2: Create the Bar Plot

Utilize Matplotlib to create the bar plot from the sorted dictionary.

Step 3: Display Counter Values on Top of Each Bar

Since we want to add values from the counter_dct to our plot, we can use a loop that iterates through the sorted population data and places the corresponding counter value above each bar.

Step 4: Rotate Labels for Better Legibility

For the x-axis labels, you might want to rotate them for better visibility:

Conclusion

With these steps, you can create engaging visualizations that not only depict the data effectively but also provide additional context with counter values. This capability enhances the visualization, making your data presentations more informative and visually appealing.
