Plot absolute values in stacked bar plot

Dear all,

I am creating a stacked bar plot showing ABSOLUTE values (see figure attached).

I am wondering how I can plot the absolute, not the relative numbers, on the seperate bar segments (as depicted by white numbers on the attached plot).

Thank you and all the best,

Lisa

Please attach your data or give a sample data.

Hi Dyuman, attached please find the code.

The final plot should look like the on on the previously attached file.

Thanks you so much!

x =   [  15    40    22;  6    13     4];
ba = bar(X,'stacked','FaceColor','flat')
ylim([0 100])
leg = legend({'1','2','3'})
ylabel(['%'])
xticklabels({'Yes', 'No'})
a = get(gca,'XTickLabel');
set(gca,'XTickLabel',a,'fontsize',16)
legend boxoff

x = [15 40 22; 6 13 4];
b = bar(x,'stacked','FaceColor','flat');
ylim([0 100])
legend({'1','2','3'});
ylabel('%')
xticklabels({'Yes', 'No'})
a = get(gca,'XTickLabel');
set(gca,'XTickLabel',a,'fontsize',16)

%defining x and y coordinates and labels
xt = [1 2 1 2 1 2];
yt = reshape(cumsum(x,2),1,[])-2;
label = reshape(x,1,[]);
text(xt,yt,string(label),'HorizontalAlignment','center','FontSize',7,'Color','k')
%white didn't look good

Great, that works perfect! Thanks!

Which part would need to be adjusted if working with more than two bars? For example with an input variable such as

x = [15 40 22; 6 13 4; 17 30 5];

[Dyuman Joshi]

@Elli, that would be like this -

x = [15 40 22; 6 13 4; 17 30 5];
b = bar(x,'stacked','FaceColor','flat');
ylim([0 100])
legend({'1','2','3'});
ylabel('%')
xticklabels({'Yes', 'No'})
a = get(gca,'XTickLabel');
set(gca,'XTickLabel',a,'fontsize',16)
%defining x and y coordinates and labels

%part adjusted
%you can verify the code by using any numbers of rows in your data
r = size(x,1);
xt = repmat([1:r],1, r);

yt = reshape(cumsum(x,2),1,[])-2;
label = reshape(x,1,[]);
text(xt,yt,string(label),'HorizontalAlignment','center','FontSize',7,'Color','k')
%white didn't look good
