I have the following data frame:

week          person_counts
2023-01-23    777
2023-01-30    800
2023-02-06    890
2023-02-13    766
2023-02-20    789

How can I plot this with labels on top of each bar?

I have the following code: I see solutions online but most of them are solutions when plotting using the pandas function or with seaborn. How can i do this with just a matplotlib bar() plot?

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (15,6))
ax.set_ylabel('Person Count')
ax.set_title('Persons')

ax.xaxis.set.major_formatter(mdates.DateFormatter('%m/%d/%y')
ax.bar(df.TimeStamp, df.person_counts, width = 5)

plt.xticks(df.TimeStamp)
plt.show()

[`Axes.bar_label`](https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.bar_label.html), and there are definitely questions on SO related to this. – BigBen May 03 '23 at 16:39

seaborn is a high-level api for matplotlib, and pandas used matplotlib as the default plotting backend. – Trenton McKinney May 03 '23 at 18:13
