As you can see in this graph, the annotation goes beyond the area of the figure. In python I’m used to fix this with pyplot.tight\_layout().

```julia
d = Dict{Any, Any} with 7 entries:
  "C" => 10.7406
  "C ffast-math" => 7.28659
  "Python- Built-in" => 1631.21
  "Python numpy" => 4.74571
  "Python hand-written" => 1942.86
  "Julia built-in" => 6.45389
  "Julia hand-written" => 10.7421

l_vec = sort(collect(d), by=x->x[2], rev = true)

x = map(x->x[1], l_vec)
y = map(x->x[2], l_vec)

y_annotations = [@sprintf(" %.2f ms",i) for i in y]  

Plots.bar(x ,y ,
    xaxis = ("time (ms)",false, nothing), 
    yaxis = ("Languages",false),
    orientation= :horizontal,label = "" , series_annotation = (y_annotations, font(7, :left)))

```

`bar(x, y, right_margin = 10Plots.mm)` (or however many `mm` you need to add to get it all to show)

i wrote a proper post for this, I think the discussion is rich enough. here: [Comparing Sum function from multiple languages](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/comparing-sum-function-from-multiple-languages/67305)

Wow. Is there any other way to do so?
