I need decimal values (they are in the code but in the plot. they are getting as integers) for the values above the bars. Also, the x-axis legend is overlapping so I need it in 2 lines. I mean each x legend in two lines. For example, for "total time", time should come in next line

    In addition to the code, can you describe what the problem is?

  • Please edit the question to include that information, don't just write it in a comment :) However, do you mean the numbers on top of the bars? You have explicitly told pgfplots to use integers there with precision=0 ...

  • yes, I need decimal values on top of the bars. please guide me to change the precision command

  • I repeat, please edit the question to include a description of the changes you want. There should be an edit link just above these comments. I don't understand what guide you need, the number after precision= says how many decimals to add, so start by trying to change that value.

With \pgfmathprintnumber[precision=0]{\pgfplotspointmeta} you're saying "print this number with zero decimals". If you say precision=1, you'll get one decimal. As you found, you'll get the same result by removing [precision=0] altogether.

By the way, if you want e.g. 8.0 instead of 8, you'll need \pgfmathprintnumber[zerofill, precision=1]{\pgfplotspointmeta}, but it seems you didn't want that.

Regarding the xticklabels, you can add xticklabel style={align=center} to the axis options, and then add \\ in the symbolic coordinats where you want line breaks.

I also made the bars a bit wider to make room for the labels.

Unrelated note: having a \centering inside a tikzpicture doesn't make much sense. The size of a tikzpicture is determined by the content, the \centering should be before \begin{tikzpicture}.

  • And you can add fixed zerofill to get all these number as decimals
