Thank You David. Yes, I am using the lattice barchart and have

This is the code I am using:

months")
barchart(PrimaryReason ~ cInteractions| Bucket + Type, data =

auto.key = list(title = "COMPARISON - PRIMARY
REASON",columns=2,points = FALSE, rectangles = TRUE,space=
"right"
),scales = list(x = list(abbreviate=TRUE,minlength=5,rot=45)),
panel = function(x,y,subscripts,groups,...){
panel.barchart(x,y,...)
ltext(x,y,label=round(PR_SUMMARY$cInteractions,1),
cex=.99,rot=45)
# if you add or subtract a small amount from "y" in the prior line it
will move the labels up or down.
border="transparent"})
I dont really understand the "ltext" part and found it with some
other code,
but it works.
Thanks again,

(similar to how data labels can be added in Excel) I have done a lot of searching but havent been lucky. This is generally pretty easy with text() at least if you are using base graphics. If it is not clear after reading the help page then post an examply with whatever barchart function you have chosen to use. If it's the lattice barchart there is an ltext example immediately before the barchart example that quickly can be grafted into the barchart code.

[R] Data Labels in a barchart (Lattice or otherwise)
Hi, Can anyone please help me with how I could add labels with the value for each bar in a barchart? (similar to how data labels can be added in Excel) I have done a lot of searching but havent been lucky.
