有没有什么简单的方法可以改变我的条形图对齐方式并增加其在 LaTeX 上的宽度？

Question

所以我刚开始使用 LaTeX。我创建了这个条形图，但它太宽了，无法放入我的 PDF 文档中。我不想旋转图表。我还需要将此图表与页面的左边缘对齐，这样我就可以弄清楚如何更改宽度以确保我的文本适合。有没有办法让我也可以在不减小文本大小的情况下使 x 轴标签适合，但只需将标签设为双行？

不确定我的问题是否有意义，但我已经花了几个小时试图弄清楚这个问题。任何帮助都将不胜感激！

这是我目前拥有的代码：

\begin{axis}[
    ybar, 
    enlargelimits=0.10,
    width=7in,
    height=5in,
    bar width= 20pt,
    legend style={at={(0.5,-0.2)},
      anchor=north,legend columns=-1},
    ylabel={Counts},
    symbolic x coords={Less Than HS, HS incomplete, HS graduate, Some college, Associate degree, Bachelor's, PG incomplete, PG degree},
    xtick=data,
    nodes near coords,
    nodes near coords align={vertical},
]
\addplot [color=gray, fill= lightgray] coordinates {(Less Than HS, 3) (HS incomplete, 21) (HS graduate, 211) (Some college, 127) (Associate degree, 92) (Bachelor's,162) (PG incomplete, 12) (PG degree, 96)};
\addplot [color=gray, fill= darkgray] coordinates {(Less Than HS, 35) (HS incomplete, 32) (HS graduate, 163) (Some college, 122) (Associate degree, 88) (Bachelor's,186) (PG incomplete, 17) (PG degree, 190)};

\legend{Protect,Control}
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

• 请始终提供 MWE（最小工作示例），这是一份小而完整的文档，可重现您的问题。通过它，您将帮助我们帮助您。
• 您的xticklabel宽度太宽。要缩小宽度，您有以下几种选择：
  • 使用较小的字体（通过xticklabel style在axis选项中定义）
  • 将它们旋转一定角度
  • 结合上述选项

可能的解决方案：

\documentclass[margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
    ybar,
    enlargelimits=0.10,
    width=7in,
    height=5in,
    bar width= 20pt,
    legend style={at={(0.5,-0.13)},
                  anchor=north,legend columns=-1},
    ylabel={Counts},
    symbolic x coords={Less Than HS, HS incomplete, HS graduate, 
                       Some college, Associate degree, Bachelor's, 
                       PG incomplete, PG degree},
    xticklabel style = {text width=4em, align=flush right, inner sep=1pt,
                        rotate=30, anchor=north east,
                        font=\linespread{0.84}\selectfont},    % <---
    xtick=data,

\addplot [color=gray, fill= lightgray] coordinates {(Less Than HS, 3) (HS incomplete, 21) (HS graduate, 211) (Some college, 127) (Associate degree, 92) (Bachelor's,162) (PG incomplete, 12) (PG degree, 96)};
\addplot [color=gray, fill= darkgray] coordinates {(Less Than HS, 35) (HS incomplete, 32) (HS graduate, 163) (Some college, 122) (Associate degree, 88) (Bachelor's,186) (PG incomplete, 17) (PG degree, 190)};
