Is there an easy way to label bars with the value of the bar at that point? I am doing log bars and it would be nice to have them labeled.
I guess I can do this manually using text() and the values returned by bar(); is there an automatic way to do it?
Thanks!
There is nothing built in (though it would be a nice feature). Here
is a simple example:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
N = 5
menMeans = (20, 35, 30, 35, 27)
menStd = (2, 3, 4, 1, 2)
ind = np.arange(N) # the x locations for the groups
width = 0.35 # the width of the bars
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
rects1 = ax.bar(ind, menMeans, width, color='r', yerr=menStd)
womenMeans = (25, 32, 34, 20, 25)
womenStd = (3, 5, 2, 3, 3)
rects2 = ax.bar(ind+width, womenMeans, width, color='y', yerr=womenStd)
# add some
ax.set_ylabel('Scores')
ax.set_title('Scores by group and gender')
ax.set_xticks(ind+width, ('G1', 'G2', 'G3', 'G4', 'G5') )
ax.legend( (rects1[0], rects2[0]), ('Men', 'Women') )
def autolabel(rects):
# attach some text labels
for rect in rects:
height = rect.get_height()
ax.text(rect.get_x()+rect.get_width()/2., 1.05*height, '%d'%int(height),
ha='center', va='bottom')
autolabel(rects1)
autolabel(rects2)
#fig.savefig('barchart_demo')
plt.show()
