Horizontal Bar Chart with Labels#

A horizontal bar chart for comparing category values along the y-axis. This example uses the penguins dataset to show average body mass per species. Labels are added as an overlay.

import hvplot.pandas  # noqa

df = hvplot.sampledata.penguins('pandas')
grouped = df.groupby('species', observed=True)['body_mass_g'].mean()

grouped.hvplot.barh(
    x='species',
    y='body_mass_g',
    xlabel='Species',
    ylabel='Body Mass (g)',
    legend=False,
    title='Horizontal Bar Chart (Bokeh)',
    width=400, height=400,
) * grouped.hvplot.labels(
    x='species',
    y='body_mass_g',
    hover=False,
    text="{body_mass_g:.0f} g ",
    text_color='white',
    text_align="right",
    width=400, height=400,
)
