RE: st: RE: Graph bar with label wtih % symbol at the top of each bar

Marcos,

You would probably be better off following the other advice and examples
from this thread, but if you choose to go this route, then yes, use this
code first and then use the newly created variables var1_pct and so forth
to create your graph.
