Re: st: line on top of bar graph

[Jeph Herrin <jeph.herrin@yale.edu>]

Martin, Scott:

Thanks for the suggestions. However, my actual graph is much
more complicated than my example, and can't easily be kludged as
Martin suggests; moreover, I have to generate hundreds of these
for separate (automated) reports, and manual editing is not
a practical solution. Any other ideas?
