Thanks for the reply, David. In fact this works, although it is graphically inelegant when you have many bars and they are close to each other.

I wonder whether an alternative approach could exist, perhaps removing the X-axis and redesigning it (with the AXIS command) taking care of defining the ticks. However, I'm not sure this can be done in conjunction with cgBarPlot.
