I needed the bar labels too  note that my y-axis is having a zoomed view using limits on y axis  The default calculations for putting the labels on top of the bar still works using height  use global coordinate False in the example   But I wanted to show that the labels can be put in the bottom of the graph too in zoomed view using global coordinates in matplotlib 3 0 2  Hope it help someone   def autolabel rects data       Attach a text label above each bar displaying its height     c   0 initial   0 091 offset   0 205 use global coordinate   True  if use global coordinate      for i in data                  ax text initial offset c  0 05  str i   horizontalalignment  center                   verticalalignment  center   transform ax transAxes fontsize 8          c c 1 else      for rect i in zip rects data           height   rect get height           ax text rect get x     rect get width   2   height str i  ha  center   va  bottom

Use plt text   to put text in the plot  Example  import matplotlib pyplot as plt N   5 menMeans    20  35  30  35  27  ind   np arange N    Creating a figure with some fig size fig  ax   plt subplots figsize    10 5   ax bar ind menMeans width 0 4   Now the trick is here   plt text     you need to give  x y  location   where you want to put the numbers   So here index will give you x pos and data 1 will provide a little gap in y axis  for index data in enumerate menMeans       plt text x index   y  data 1   s f quot  data  quot    fontdict dict fontsize 20   plt tight layout   plt show    This will show the figure as

For anyone wanting to have their label at the base of their bars just divide v by the value of the label like this   for i  v in enumerate labels       axes text i- 25                 v labels i  100                 labels i                  fontsize 18                 color label color list i      note  I added 100 so it wasn t absolutely at the bottom   To get a result like this

I have noticed api example code contains an example of barchart with the value of the bar displayed on each bar                Barchart           A bar plot with errorbars and height labels on individual bars     import numpy as np import matplotlib pyplot as plt  N   5 men means    20  35  30  35  27  men std    2  3  4  1  2   ind   np arange N     the x locations for the groups width   0 35         the width of the bars  fig  ax   plt subplots   rects1   ax bar ind  men means  width  color  r   yerr men std   women means    25  32  34  20  25  women std    3  5  2  3  3  rects2   ax bar ind   width  women means  width  color  y   yerr women std     add some text for labels  title and axes ticks ax set ylabel  Scores   ax set title  Scores by group and gender   ax set xticks ind   width   2  ax set xticklabels   G1    G2    G3    G4    G5     ax legend  rects1 0   rects2 0      Men    Women      def autolabel rects               Attach a text label above each bar displaying its height             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   plt show     output     FYI What is the unit of height variable in  barh  of matplotlib   as of now   there is no easy way to set a fixed height for each bar

For pandas people    ax   s plot kind  barh     s is a Series  float  in  0 1   ax text v  i      2f    format 100 v   for i  v in enumerate s      That s it  Alternatively  for those who prefer apply over looping with enumerate   it   iter range len s    s apply lambda x  ax text x  next it      2f    format 100 x       Also  ax patches will give you the bars that you would get with ax bar       In case you want to apply the functions of  SaturnFromTitan or techniques of others

I know it s an old thread  but I landed here several times via Google and think no given answer is really satisfying yet  Try using one of the following functions   EDIT  As I m getting some likes on this old thread  I wanna share an updated solution as well  basically putting my two previous functions together and automatically deciding whether it s a bar or hbar plot    def label bars ax  bars  text format    kwargs               Attaches a label on every bar of a regular or horizontal bar chart             ys    bar get y   for bar in bars      y is constant   all y    ys 0  for y in ys     - gt  regular bar chart  since all all bars start on the same y level  0       if y is constant           label bar ax  bars  text format    kwargs      else           label barh ax  bars  text format    kwargs    def  label bar ax  bars  text format    kwargs               Attach a text label to each bar displaying its y value             max y value   ax get ylim   1      inside distance   max y value   0 05     outside distance   max y value   0 01      for bar in bars          text   text format format bar get height            text x   bar get x     bar get width     2          is inside   bar get height    gt   max y value   0 15         if is inside              color    white              text y   bar get height   - inside distance         else              color    black              text y   bar get height     outside distance          ax text text x  text y  text  ha  center   va  bottom   color color    kwargs    def  label barh ax  bars  text format    kwargs               Attach a text label to each bar displaying its y value     Note  label always outside  otherwise it s too hard to control as numbers can be very long             max x value   ax get xlim   1      distance   max x value   0 0025      for bar in bars          text   text format format bar get width             text x   bar get width     distance         text y   bar get y     bar get height     2          ax text text x  text y  text  va  center     kwargs    Now you can use them for regular bar plots   fig  ax   plt subplots  5  5   bars   ax bar x pos  values  width 0 5  align  center   value format       1       displaying values as percentage with one fractional digit label bars ax  bars  value format    or for horizontal bar plots   fig  ax   plt subplots  5  5   horizontal bars   ax barh y pos  values  width 0 5  align  center   value format       1       displaying values as percentage with one fractional digit label bars ax  horizontal bars  value format

Add  for i  v in enumerate y       ax text v   3  i    25  str v   color  blue   fontweight  bold    result   The y-values v are both the x-location and the string values for ax text  and conveniently the barplot has a metric of 1 for each bar  so the enumeration i is the y-location
