How to show the label outside but at the bottom of the bar, not on top ? about flot.barlabels HOT 2 CLOSED

Sorry, I never considered positioning the label at the outside bottom because it would overlap with the axis. I do not plan to implement such a feature.

I don' use Flot anymore but I'll leave this issue open for now in case I have some time to investigate.

from flot.barlabels.

So if I understand correctly, I think this is already supported by Flot's Categories plugin. See an example here:
http://www.flotcharts.org/flot/examples/categories/index.html

However, if you still want to use this plugin, I had some success with the following changes.

} else if (pos == positions.bottom_outside) {
    if (y >= 0) {
        valign = "top";
        py = pb + series.labels.padding;
    } else {
        valign = "bottom";
        py = pb - series.labels.padding;
    }
}

Also comment out this code which serves to keep labels inside the plot area:

/*if (Math.abs((series.yaxis.p2c(0) - series.yaxis.p2c(y))) - series.labels.padding < textInfo.height) {
    pos = positions.outside;
}*/

And lastly, just to be thorough, make sure you've added bottom_outside to this enum (though I think you probably did this already):

var positions = {
    middle: 0,
    base: 1,
    end: 2,
    outside: 3,
    bottom_outside: 4
};

I will not be adding this feature to this plugin since I think it is handled better by Flot. But I hope this helps anyway.
