I can't seem to find a simple one liner that includes everything I need for my plot. Looking for some guidance here -

I have a simple one line of code for a bar plot:

df[df.day=='Friday'].groupby('day').agg('amount').mean().plot(kind='bar',x='day',y='amount')

Which works well, but I'd like to add labels to the bar chart. So each bar shows the mean value for that day. Can I do this annotation within this one line?

No but you can use [this approach](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28931224/adding-value-labels-on-a-matplotlib-bar-chart). – BigBen Dec 04 '20 at 19:55
just seems like it should be easier – paranormaldist Dec 04 '20 at 20:01
But it isn't unfortunately. – BigBen Dec 04 '20 at 20:02
It's just two more lines of code, I don't think it's that complex. That said, I'd loop over the bars and extract the information them rather than loop over the plotted data. – Quang Hoang Dec 04 '20 at 20:05
