[R] label option in 'barplot'?

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Try this where you probably only want one of the last two lines:


# population of 5 US states
pop <- state.x77[1:5,1]
bp <- barplot(pop, ylim = range(pop) * c(0, 1.1))
text(bp, pop, pop, adj = c(0.5, -0.5))  # place num above bar
mtext(1, at = bp, text = pop, line = 3)  # place num below label
