Bar Chart with Labels
=====================
This example shows a basic horizontal bar chart with labels created with Altair.


.. altair-plot::
    :code-below:

    
    import altair as alt
    from vega_datasets import data

    source = data.wheat()

    bars = alt.Chart(source).mark_bar().encode(
        x='wheat:Q',
        y="year:O"
    )

    text = bars.mark_text(
        align='left',
        baseline='middle',
        dx=3  # Nudges text to right so it doesn't appear on top of the bar
    ).encode(
        text='wheat:Q'
    )

    (bars + text).properties(height=900)
