R Show Mean in ggplot2 geom_bar Barchart (Example Code)

This article explains how to plot the mean in a ggplot2 barplot in the R programming language.

Preparing the Example

data(iris)                       # Example data for barplot
head(iris)
#   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
# 1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
# 4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
# 5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa
install.packages("ggplot2")      # Install ggplot2 package
library("ggplot2")               # Load ggplot2 package

Example: Using geom_bar() Function to Plot Mean in ggplot2 Barplot

ggplot(iris,                     # Show mean in barchart
       aes(x = Species,
           y = Sepal.Width)) +
  geom_bar(position = "dodge",
           fun = "mean",
           stat = "summary")
