Labelling Rectangles

Community matplotlib-users

Hi there

I am plotting a bar graph and would like to label the bars (rectangles) with
their quantities. If a bar represents 12 items I want a "12" on the top-end
of the bar, preferable on the edge of the bar and not off the chart as with
a table.

Is this possible?

Thanks
Marco

While the example uses "text", "annotate" is more useful for
fine-tuning the location of texts.
