[R] adding labels above bars in a barplot

[Antonio Olinto]

Thanks Greg, Dennis and John for the attention and recommendations.

I did the job with

par(mar=c(12,6,3,2),cex.axis=1.2,cex.lab=1.4)
bp<-barplot(t(as.matrix(dat.bar)),ylim=c(0,max(dat.data[,2]*1.1)),las=2,ylab="Y 
label text",col="orange")
box()
text(bp,dat.bar[,1],dat.data[,3],col="blue",pos=3)

More simple and too much better.

I will use the numbers on the top of the bars to indicate the number of 
fishing boats per fleet (abscissa). Ordinate (y-axis) indicates 
landings, so its information will not be replicated. Is this a sacrilege 
anyway? Please forgive me … ;-)

Have a nice weekend.

Sincerely,

Antonio
