Hello all,
I am creating several bar charts and would like to indicate the value above each bar. Unfortunately, this value varies very often and I have to edit each chart individually. If I do not do this, the chart looks like this:
Is there a way to automatically scale the axes so that there is enough space for the value to still be displayed above the bar? Is there also a function so that the values are above the bar for positive numbers and below the bar for negative numbers? I always change this in the function itself with "top" or "bottom".
Many thanks in advance!

I am not exactly certain wher eyou want the bar values placed, so it may be necessary to edit the two text calls to create the result you want. This increases the ylim values to accommodate the bar labels, and selects the labels to be placed either above or below the bar ends, depenmding on their signs.
Try this —
x = 1:10;
y = round(100*randn(size(x)));
figure
hb = bar(x, y, 'c');
xe = hb.XEndPoints;
ye = hb.YEndPoints;
ylim(ylim*1.105) % Multiply 'ylim'
yepos = y>=0; % 'true' For y>= 0
text(xe(yepos),ye(yepos), compose('%g',y(yepos)), 'Horiz','center', 'Vert','bottom') % Positive Values
text(xe(~yepos),ye(~yepos), compose('%g',y(~yepos)), 'Horiz','center', 'Vert','top') % Negative Values
.

This should work with positive or negative values.
y = [5 10 15 100 150 200];
%y = [y -y];
hb = bar(y,0.4);
xtips = hb.XEndPoints;
ytips = hb.YEndPoints;
barlabels = string(hb.YData);
ht = text(xtips,ytips,barlabels,'HorizontalAlignment','center',...
'VerticalAlignment','bottom');
if any(y < 0)
% flip the labels on negative bars
for k = 1:numel(ht)
if y(k) < 0
ht(k).VerticalAlignment = 'top';
end
end
% get the bot edge of the lowest label
% add 2% just for some extra padding
[~,mnidx] = min(y);
ymin = ht(mnidx).Extent(2)*1.02;
else
% set the ylimit
yl = ylim();
ymin = yl(1);
end
% get the top edge of the highest label
% add 2% just for some extra padding
[~,mxidx] = max(y);
ymax = sum(ht(mxidx).Extent([2 4]))*1.02;
% set the ylimit
ylim([ymin ymax])
