st: creating a bar chart with overlayed symbols

["Data Analytics Corp." <walt@dataanalyticscorp.com>]

Hi,

Suppose I have a small data set with four variables:

    att -- product attributes of a consumer product as character strings
    pct -- percent of consumers rating the importance of the attributes
    comp1 -- consumer performance rating (in percent) of competitor 1 
on each attribute
    comp2 -- like comp1 but for competitor 2

I'd like to create a simple horizontal bar chart of pct by categories 
att (no problem with this -- I know how to do it), but have symbols 
overlayed on each bar for comp1 and comp2.  The symbols should be a 
triangle for comp1 and a square for comp2. How do I overlay symbols on 
each bar?  Basically, the bars show how important each attribute is to 
consumers and the symbols how the competition performs on each 
attribute.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Walt
