In this example the label \"300\" (column D) is too low and overlaps other text. Ideally I could just provide padding as a list to `bar_label` so that I can target this specific label (instead of the current all-or-nothing float value):\n![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2fe80971-ba74-4e26-b2e4-b7a273c2efb9)\n\nWith manually added labels I can add padding to just the desired label, but it would be nice as a built-in option:\n![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/95a07b34-2a18-4ed6-98c4-107fd93de58a)\n\n### Proposed solution\n\nAdd logic to check if the `padding` parameter of `bar_label` is an appropriate-length iterable and apply padding accordingly.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nhansendev","@type":"Person","name":"nhansendev"},"datePublished":"2025-02-19T19:05:34.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/29647/matplotlib/issues/29647"}
