Label Repositioning in Bar Plots

ACAY
Level I

Hi Eveyrone,

I have a problem with visualisation of labels in the bar plots. Some labels are not seen at all and in some cases I would like to put them on top of the bars instead of inside. I tried to search but failed to find a solution in JMP Help. Is there a way to reposition the labels? or why can not I see the labels for some bars. 

I attach an example plot where there is 3 respond overlayed in bars and blue bars which should be around 100 as numerical are not seen, while for the others some are seen and some not.

Re: Label Repositioning in Bar Plots

Hi,

 

It is challenging to provide a precise answer without seeing your data and describing how you created the plot.

 

I assume you used the Stacked Bar in GraphBuillder with an Overlay column for each bar and then selected the Label by Value to display the data within each bar (see below and the attached mock data).

If you used a different method, try the simple approach I described. If you prefer using a different method, please send us a description of each step.

 

Best,
