title: Values above the bars in a barchart in Matplotlib
body: <p>I have the following code for a barchart in matplotlib</p>
  
  <pre><code>import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.rcdefaults()
  import numpy as np
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
  objects = ('2004', '2005', '2006', '2007', '2008', '2009', '2010', '2011', '2012', '2013', '2014', '2015', '2016', '2017', '2018')
  y_pos = np.arange(len(objects))
  performance = [8.5,9.1,9.7, 10.6, 11.4, 12.6, 13.2, 13.4, 14.7, 15.4, 16.2, 16.7, 17.0, 17.5, 18.0]
  
  fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(18,5))
  
  
  
  plt.bar(y_pos, performance, align='center', alpha=0.5, color="green")
  plt.xticks(y_pos, objects)
  plt.ylim(0, 20)
  plt.ylabel('Share in %',  fontsize = 16)
  plt.xlim(-0.6, len(objects) - 0.4)
  ax.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=14)
  plt.savefig('Share_Of_Renewables_Europe.png', edgecolor='black', dpi=400, bbox_inches='tight',
             figsize=(18,5) )
  
  for i, performance in enumerate(performance):
      ax.text(performance - 0, i + .25, str(performance), color='black', fontweight='bold')
  
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to have values above the bars. I use the suggestion (for loop at the end of my code) from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30228069/how-to-display-the-value-of-the-bar-on-each-bar-with-pyplot-barh">How to display the value of the bar on each bar with pyplot.barh()?</a> but it does not look correct. Here you see the output:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/76eP6.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/76eP6.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me on that?</p>
