Description
Hover labels in Plotly are displayed on the right hand side of the displayed object, for example:
This makes the numbers misaligned, especially for e.g. bar charts, where you'd expect a label to be shown on top of the bar instead of to the right of the bar
Is there an option to make the labels appear on top instead? In my second example it would appear in the same position as my current annotations — right on top of the bar. In the first example it should appear on top of the bubble.
