Adding annotations option (attributes) to barplot and countplot

I propose for adding annotations option (attributes) to barplot and countplot Lets start with an example import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns %matplotlib inline

df = sns.load_dataset('tips')

Plotting a simple barplot

splot = sns.barplot(data=df, x = 'sex', y = 'total_bill')

Annotating bars plt.figure(figsize=(6, 8)) splot = sns.barplot(data=df, x = 'sex', y = 'total_bill', ci = None) for p in splot.patches: splot.annotate(format(p.get_height(), '.2f'), (p.get_x() + p.get_width() / 2., p.get_height()), ha = 'center', va = 'center', xytext = (0, 10), textcoords = 'offset points')

This seems a simple addition. But, someone requiring to add some more highlights by annotating those bar would require to add some more lines of code.

Instead, adding a single attribute would reduce this efforts and make them more expressive !!!

I would really like to see this or something like this added.

The annotation on barplots should be simple.

I won’t be adding this, sorry.
