Hi,

#There are a lot of examples for barplot if you just type

example(barplot)

# i altered one slightly to put the values on top of each bar

mp <- barplot(VADeaths)     # default
#tot <- colMeans(VADeaths)   #changed this line
tot = colSums(VADeaths) #wether you need max, min, mean , colSums will depend on your data
text(mp, tot + 4, format(tot), xpd = TRUE, col = "blue")


#you should be able to get it from here

Dear all

As a new user of R, can someone please help me with the following

I have created a programme to analyse laboratory data and one of the graphs is 
a bar plot of 'Z' scores.

On the bar plot I am using the following line to plot some results

 barplot (zb[,c("ZBW")], ylim = c(-6,6), names.arg=zb[,c("LabNo")],xlab="Lab Code 
Number", cex.names = .5 , axis.lty=1 , main = " Total Coliform ")

What I would like to do is move the xlab parameter to sit on top or on each bar 
and not on the x-axis at y=0.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve
