Bar Chart with Labels#

This example shows a basic horizontal bar chart with labels created with Altair.

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.wheat()

bars = alt.Chart(source).mark_bar().encode(
    x='wheat:Q',
    y="year:O"
)

text = bars.mark_text(
    align='left',
    baseline='middle',
    dx=3  # Nudges text to right so it doesn't appear on top of the bar
).encode(
    text='wheat:Q'
)

(bars + text).properties(height=900)
