[ncl-talk] Placing numbers above the bars

[Barry Lynn]

Hello:

I was a bit surprised do see that there are numbers above the bars now.

However, they are there, so I must have really benefited from the
information on these two pages.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/bar_horz_7.ncl

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Interfaces/gsn_text.shtml

Yet, I am wondering how I might create a bit of space between the bars and
the labels, and how I might grow the labels (numbers) themselves?

Thank you,

Barry
