Annotate bars with values on Pandas bar plots

Question

I was looking for a way to annotate my bars in a Pandas bar plot with the rounded numerical values from my DataFrame.

>>> df=pd.DataFrame({'A':np.random.rand(2),'B':np.random.rand(2)},index=['value1','value2'] )         
>>> df
                 A         B
  value1  0.440922  0.911800
  value2  0.588242  0.797366

I would like to get something like this:

I tried with this code sample, but the annotations are all centered on the x ticks:

>>> ax = df.plot(kind='bar') 
>>> for idx, label in enumerate(list(df.index)): 
        for acc in df.columns:
            value = np.round(df.ix[idx][acc],decimals=2)
            ax.annotate(value,
                        (idx, value),
                         xytext=(0, 15), 
                         textcoords='offset points')

Answer 1

You get it directly from the axes' patches:

for p in ax.patches:
    ax.annotate(str(p.get_height()), (p.get_x() * 1.005, p.get_height() * 1.005))

You'll want to tweak the string formatting and the offsets to get things centered, maybe use the width from p.get_width(), but that should get you started. It may not work with stacked bar plots unless you track the offsets somewhere.
