graph hbar hours, over(occ7, label(nolabels))
blabel(group,
position(inside)
)
With the
position(inside)
option, we
can place the group label inside the
bar. By default,
inside
refers to the
very “top” of the bar but on the inside
of the bar. Note that, because we chose
the
vg palec
scheme, the bar colors are
pale, so the labels within the bars are
readable.

blabel(group,

With the
position(inside)
option, we
can place the label inside the bar, but
at the base of the bar. You can also
specify
position(center)
to place the
label in the center of the bar.

gap(*10)
)
The
gap()
option can be used to
fine-tune the placement of the label.
Here, we position the label at the base
but increase the gap between the label
and the base to be 10 times its normal
size. You can also use the
gap()
option
with
position(inside)
to position the
label with respect to the top of the bar.
