<div dir="ltr">Thanks Mary. I got my bars to show up now and my colors are plotting corrrectly. I still have the issue of the plot showing up twice on top of itself. Do you know why that could be? I am looking it over as I email this, but currently can't figure it out. Also, I can't figure out why the X reference line does not show up.

The only one that shows up is the last one. Also, the colors don't seem to work correctly, as they are all red and not varying based on my color array. The other problem is that the plot seems to be plotting twice and I can't figure out why. Attached is the figure and the program. The program is long so the only issue in the program starts at line 3148 and ends at 3209. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks much,<span class="m_-7367154439480803552HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_-7367154439480803552m_6366571649407855565gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Andrew Kren, PhD<br>
