Hi
don't you rather mean using 'bar' function to make a bar plot? That
would make more sense for vector with just 4 elements... Anyway,
adding text labels on top of bars is possible, but AFAIK you have to
do it manually with 'text' function. If bar x positions go from 1 to
length(A) (which is the default case), it is relatively simple:
A=[0.02 0.04 0.04 0.01];
bar(A)
for i=1:length(A)
text(i, A(i)+0.001, sprintf('%.2f%%',100*A(i)),
'horizontalalignment', 'center');
endfor
This inserts text labels with x,y coordinates i,A(i)+0.001 (0.001 is
added so that text is above the bars - you may have to find right
number individually for other plots).
If you wanted to do this with histogram, you would need to find out
x,y coordinates from 'hist' return values:
[NN XX] = hist(A)
will return y coordinates (number of observations in specific bin) in
NN and x coordinates (centers of bins) in XX.
