Thanks for this @manaruto! I'm refining the code a bit to prevent duplication and will merge shortly. There's a new cookbook recipe that looks like this: bars.LabelsOnTop = true; |

This pull request improves how bar chart value labels are rendered by utilizing the IRenderLast interface. This ensures that labels are drawn at the top level. The change affects Bar, BarPlot, and introduces a Clone() method for LabelStyle.
Changes Made
Bar.cs
BarPlot.cs
LabelStyle.cs
Note: I included a Clone() method in LabelStyle to defensively copy the style during Render(...). It may not be strictly necessary, but it's added to ensure stable label appearance in RenderLast().
Before / After
Note: With this update, bar value labels are rendered after all other plot elements, including axis lines and grid ticks.
