To display text over columns in a bar chart, we can use text() method so that we could place text at a specific location (x and y) of the bars column.
Steps
Create lists for x, y and percentage.
Make a bar plot using bar() method.
Iterate zipped x, y and percentage to place text for the bars column.
To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True x = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'] y = [1, 3, 2, 0, 4] percentage = [10, 30, 20, 0, 40] ax = plt.bar(x, y) for x, y, p in zip(x, y, percentage): plt.text(x, y, p) plt.show()
