Annotate bars with values on Pandas bar plots

As of matplotlib 3.4.0:

A new Axes.bar_label helper method has been added for auto-labeling bar charts.

For single-group bar charts, supply ax.containers[0]:

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': np.random.rand(2)}, index=['value1', 'value2'])
ax = df.plot.barh()

ax.bar_label(ax.containers[0])

For multi-group bar charts, iterate ax.containers:

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': np.random.rand(2), 'B': np.random.rand(2)}, index=['value1', 'value2'])
ax = df.plot.bar()

for container in ax.containers:
    ax.bar_label(container)

bar_label examples

See matplotlib's bar label demos for comprehensive examples using the optional styling params:

Axes.bar_label(self, container, labels=None, *, fmt='%g', label_type='edge', padding=0, **kwargs)


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.
