[Tex/LaTex] grouped bar chart with pgfplots

bar chartpgfplotstikz-pgf

I am trying to create a grouped bar chart with pgfplots, like this one:

enter image description here

but I can't put the values over the bars, like this one:

My code is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{portuges}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[h]

\pgfplotsset{

        \pgfmathsetmacro\testmacro{(\pgfplotspointmeta *10^\pgfplots@data@scale@trafo@EXPONENT@y)*\pgfplots@y@veclength)}
        \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=false}
    },
    every node near coord/.style={
        /pgfplots/calculate offset,
        yshift=-\testmacro
    }
}

Best Answer

nodes near coords alone, without any further customization, results in the desired nodes on top of the bars.

This has the disadvantage that your legend description are no longer a standard nodes near coords instruction. The way that pgfplots handles such a case would be to use legend entries, perhaps as in the following example:

        major x tick style = {opacity=0},
        minor x tick num = 1,

        every node near coord/.append style={

Here, nodes near coords draws the individual bar values. The legend entries, together with a bit of legend customization, results in the description on top of the plot.

Note that \strut in the tick labels causes all tick labels to have the same size (even below the text's base line), such that they are aligned vertically (thanks @egreg for the suggestion).
