Placed[expr,pos]

represents an expression expr placed at relative position pos in a chart or other display.

Placed[{e1,e2,…},pos]

places each of the ei at a relative position specified by pos.

Placed[{e1,e2,…},pos,f]

applies the function f to each of the ei before displaying it.

Placed

Placed[expr,pos]

represents an expression expr placed at relative position pos in a chart or other display.

Placed[{e1,e2,…},pos]

places each of the ei at a relative position specified by pos.

Placed[{e1,e2,…},pos,f]

applies the function f to each of the ei before displaying it.

Details

  • Placed[expr,pos] is used instead of expr to specify special placement of expr.
  • The possible position specifications pos in Placed[expr,pos] depend on the construct in which Placed appears.
  • Typical supported forms include Bottom, Left, Center, Right, Top, Tooltip and StatusArea, as well as special positions associated with particular charts or other constructs, and explicit lists of scaled coordinates.
  • Placed[expr,{pos,epos}] specifies that position epos in expr should be placed at relative position pos.

Examples

Basic Examples  (4)

Use symbolic placements within bars:

Wolfram Language code: Table[BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, ChartLabels -> Placed[{"a", "b", "c"}, p], PlotLabel -> p], {p, {Bottom, Center, Top}}]
Wolfram Language code: Table[BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, ChartLabels -> Placed[{"a", "b", "c"}, p], BarOrigin -> Left, PlotLabel -> p], {p, {Left, Center, Right}}]

Symbolic placements within sectors:

Wolfram Language code: Table[PieChart[{1, 2, 3}, ChartLabels -> Placed[{"a", "b", "c"}, p], SectorOrigin -> {Automatic, 1}, PlotLabel -> p], {p, {"RadialInner", "RadialCenter", "RadialOuter"}}]

Symbolic placements outside sectors:

Wolfram Language code: Table[PieChart[{1, 2, 3}, ChartLabels -> Placed[{"a", "b", "c"}, p], SectorOrigin -> {Automatic, 1}, PlotLabel -> p], {p, {"RadialInside", "RadialEdge", "RadialOutside"}}]

Use a callout:

Wolfram Language code: PieChart[Range[10], ChartLabels -> Placed[Range[10], "RadialCallout"], SectorOrigin -> {Automatic, 1}]

Place legends outside a plot:

Wolfram Language code: {ListPlot[{Range[10], Prime[Range[10]]}, PlotLegends -> Placed[{"one", "two"}, Before]], ListPlot[{Range[10], Prime[Range[10]]}, PlotLegends -> Placed[{"one", "two"}, After]]}

Place legends inside a plot:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[{Range[10], Prime[Range[10]]}, PlotLegends -> Placed[{"one", "two"}, {Left, Top}]]

Use Placed to change the position of an overall legend label:

Wolfram Language code: Table[SwatchLegend[63, Range[5], LegendFunction -> Framed, LegendLabel -> Placed["label", pos]], {pos, {Bottom, Top, Below, Above}}]
