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 |

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