Yes, I believe you would need to add those labels yourself. Use text() rather than mtext() to get something similar to what hist() does when labels=TRUE. Here is how you could put the labels either just below or just above the top of the bar: # Below X <- barplot(VADeaths, beside=TRUE, ylim=c(0,80)) text(X, VADeaths, labels=VADeaths, pos=1, offset=.5, col="red") # Above X <- barplot(VADeaths, beside=TRUE, ylim=c(0,80)) text(X, VADeaths, labels=VADeaths, pos=3, offset=.5) > Thanks. > > Justin Gengler > > ______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Chuck Cleland, Ph.D. NDRI, Inc. 71 West 23rd Street, 8th floor New York, NY 10010 tel: (212) 845-4495 (Tu, Th) tel: (732) 512-0171 (M, W, F) fax: (917) 438-0894 ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
