[ncl-talk] Adding polylines to bar chart

[Hyacinth Nnamchi]

Hi,

I am trying to attach polyline to indicate some reference values in bar plots. The script runs without any error message and the bar chart plotted but without the polyline. The plot and script are attached. I appreciate any suggestions in advance.

Thanks,

Hyacinth
