Can i add Letters above bars

Hello guys,

I have created a bar chart and would like to write letters over the bars. I tried the same way to write the value of the bar above it, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Is this possible at all? Attached is a photo of how it should look.

Thank you very much!

x=[1 2];
y=[1 3 5; 6 4 2];
b=bar(x,y);
ylim([0 8])
str={'A','B','C'};
for k=1:numel(str)
    xt1=b(k).XEndPoints;
    yt1=b(k).YEndPoints;
    text(xt1,yt1+0.15,str{k},'HorizontalAlignment','center')
end

Just a little add on to your code, which makes it a bit more flexible:

x=[0:.25:1];
y=rand(5)*randi(1000,1,1);
b=bar(x,y);grid;
dy = ylim;  dy = dy(2);
str={'A','B','C','D','E'};
for k=1:numel(str)
    xt1=b(k).XEndPoints;
    yt1=b(k).YEndPoints;
    % Letter above
    %htxt = text(xt1,yt1+.02*dy,str{k},'HorizontalAlignment','center','EdgeColor','none');%,'FontUnits','normalized');
    % If you want to have the letter IN the bar on the top
    htxt = text(xt1,yt1-.02*dy,str{k},'HorizontalAlignment','center','EdgeColor','none');%,'FontUnits','normalized');
end

Maybe the Matlab insider have a much leander solution, but it seems to work.
