I want to use a bar plot to compare some data. When I typed my code the results were not what I wanted. I want each set of bars to be separated clearly. The second point I want is the numbers are shown as I typed but int output the numbers were rounded. How can I solve these problems?

Here is my code

    x tick label style={rotate=90},

    enlarge x limits=0.2,

    legend style={at={(0.5,-0.15)},

    anchor=north,legend columns=-1},

    bar width = 0.2 cm,

    symbolic x coords=        {4g,6g,8g,10g,2gamma,3gamma,4gamma,5gamma,6gamma,7gamma,0beta},

    xtick=data,

   xticklabels={$ 4_g $, $ 6_g $, $ 8_g $, $ 10_g $, $ 2_gamma $, $ 3_gamma     $, $ 4_gamma $, $ 5_gamma $, $ 6_gamma $, $ 7_gamma $, $ 0_beta $},

    nodes near coords align={vertical},

    ]

Many thanks.

You have more data than a plot of that size can comfortably fit. In order to fit things, you may make the plot wider and also add the respective shifts. If you increase the precision, the rounding does not occur. In order to avoid the nodes to overlap that much, I rotated them.
