Offsetting Value labels in a bar graph

[#1]

Hello All,

I have a question regarding value label offsets which I have not been able to figure out. I have a script which generates a lot of bar graphs with 2 Y variables and then another Y variable below. All of the Y variables should have label values. However, I am putting a hard axis max on the Y axis of the top two variables so that in some cases the bar tops would be cut off. Thus the label value would not be visible.

I want to have the labels be somewhere close to the Y=0 line or slightly offset from it. Something like the image attached 

I am using JMP 16 but will be getting 18 soon so solutions for both are welcome.

One thing you could do is to add second Y-axis on the right side (add to same Y-axis first and then right click -> move to right) and then make maximum Y value very large on that. Disable labels for left side and leave them enabled for right side.

Then hide the axis from right side

Besides the nice trick via the secondary Y axis, here is an excellent blog post how to fine tune the position via JSL:

and here is a post in the wish list with the idea to provide the functionality directly via the GUI:
