Hello,

I use the following lines to plot a line on top of a barchart

data1=[277.9,260.4,257.6,169.0,89.3,31.7,18.9,23.2,79.6,163. 4,207.6,255.5]
data2=[26,26,27,27,26,26,25,25,26,27,27,26]
cols=intarr(12)+80
cgbarplot,data1,yrange=[0,300],color=cols
cgaxis, yaxis=1,yrange=[20,30],/save
cgoplot,indgen(12)+0.5, data2,psym=-6

My problem is that I cannot make the points in the line centre over the middle of the bars. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many thanks,

Jess

I haven't tried it but perhaps the barcoords output keyword to cgbarplot would be useful:

; barcoords: out, optional, type=float
A vector of values for the center point of the bars.

you can watch the example 'Bar Plot with Error Bars' in https://www.idlcoyote.com/gallery/
for help

And as wlandsman has answersed, barcoords output keyword to cgbarplot would be useful.
