How to create a horizontal bar chart using ggplot2 with labels at inside end of the bars in R?

To create a horizontal bar chart using ggplot2 package, we need to use coord_flip() function along with the geom_bar and to add the labels geom_text function is used. These two functions of ggplot2 provides enough aesthetic characteristics to create the horizontal bar chart and put the labels at inside end of the bars.

Example

 Live Demo

x<-c("A","B","C","D")
freq<-c(24,26,27,23)
df<-data.frame(x,freq)
df

Output

x freq
1 A 24
2 B 26
3 C 27
4 D 23

library(ggplot2) ggplot(df,aes(x,freq))+geom_bar(stat="identity")+coord_flip()

Output

> ggplot(df,aes(x,freq,label=freq))+geom_bar(stat="identity")+geom_text(size=5,hjust=1.5)+coord_flip()

Output

> ggplot(df,aes(x,freq,label=freq))+geom_bar(stat="identity")+geom_text(size=10,hjust=1.5)+coord_flip()

Output
