Thread Subject:

label each bar with it's value; bar graph

Hiya,

I want to label every bar in my bar graph with the exact y-value.

I have a 3x7 array

num = [ 6.4000 10.8000 19.6000
                 1.2000 4.0000 6.4000
                 0.8000 1.8000 4.0000
                 0.2000 0.4000 1.8000
                 0.2000 0.2000 1.2000
                  0 0.2000 1.2000
                  0 0 0.4000 ];
bar(num);

and assorted legend/xlabel/ylabel/title.

I want to put 6.4, 10.8, 19.6 on the first three bars for the first x-division, 1.2, 4.0, 6.4 on the next three bars, etc.

Documentation for this is apparently pretty hard to find :(

Thanks for your time and help!

Use the text() function to place a string atop each bar.

Thanks for your response!

I was hoping for a better way, as it's going to be done ~100 unique times. Know of any others? :)
