So you have a string array X = ['lions','tigers','bears'] and you want to plot Y versus X. I don't think so.

It is possible you want to make a box plot with the X axis labeled with strings.
You can find examples of how to do this in the PLOT help page

http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/PLOT_Procedure.html

or on David Fanning's plot gallery
