Pandas, Bar Chart Annotations - pandas

Question

How to properly give Annotations to Pandas Bar Charts?
I'm following Bar Chart Annotations with Pandas and MPL, but somehow I can't make it into my own code -- this is as far as I can go. What's wrong?
I've also found the following code from here:
def autolabel(rects):
# attach some text labels
for rect in rects:
height = rect.get_height()
ax.text(rect.get_x() + rect.get_width()/2., 1.05*height,
'%d' % int(height),
ha='center', va='bottom')
autolabel(rects1)
autolabel(rects2)
But I don't how to apply that to my code either. Please help.
UPDATE:
Thank you #CT Zhu, for the answer. However, in your horizontal bars, you are still placing the text on top of bars, but I need the text show up within or along them, like this from my referenced article,
where s/he says,
"I am very parital to horizontal bar charts, as I really think they are easier to read, however, I understand that a lot of people would rather see this chart implemented in a regular bar chart. So, here is the code to do that; you will notice that a few things have changed in order to create the annotation"*

It appears your autolabel function is expecting a list of patches, sssuming your plot only those bars as its patches, we could do:
df = pd.DataFrame({'score':np.random.randn(6),
'person':[x*3 for x in list('ABCDEF')]})
def autolabel(rects):
x_pos = [rect.get_x() + rect.get_width()/2. for rect in rects]
y_pos = [rect.get_y() + 1.05*rect.get_height() for rect in rects]
#if height constant: hbars, vbars otherwise
if (np.diff([plt.getp(item, 'width') for item in rects])==0).all():
scores = [plt.getp(item, 'height') for item in rects]
else:
scores = [plt.getp(item, 'width') for item in rects]
# attach some text labels
for rect, x, y, s in zip(rects, x_pos, y_pos, scores):
ax.text(x,
y,
'%s'%s,
ha='center', va='bottom')
ax = df.set_index(['person']).plot(kind='barh', figsize=(10,7),
color=['dodgerblue', 'slategray'], fontsize=13)
ax.set_alpha(0.8)
ax.set_title("BarH")#,fontsize=18)
autolabel(ax.patches)
ax = df.set_index(['person']).plot(kind='bar', figsize=(10,7),
color=['dodgerblue', 'slategray'], fontsize=13)
ax.set_alpha(0.8)
ax.set_title("Bar")#,fontsize=18)
autolabel(ax.patches)
