[R] Putting value labels inside the bars of a bar plot

[Liaw, Andy]

Try something like:

> bar.center <- barplot(x)
> text(bar.center, x, x)

Adjust second argument to text() to get the labels where you want them.
Look at the "Value" section of the "barplot" help page.

HTH,
Andy

Subject: [R] Putting value labels inside the bars of a bar plot


I'd like to label a bar plot with the actual value of each bar, inside the
bar. I see that there are ways to plot arbitrary text, so I could do it
'manually', but this seems common enough that there's probably a simple
solution. I don't see it in the high-level documentation for barplot, and
haven't found it anywhere yet. How might this be done?

Thanks,
Tom
