bar plot

I am making a bar plot. I want to put text labels for each x value. the text lables, however, are located at the end of each bar on X axis. I wonder how I can put them in the center of bars. I apperciate your help.

Can you please include the code you are calling to make the bar plot? Also, can you please post a screen shot of the resulting figure window? Thanks.

Using my magic ball I will try to answer the question with one example made by me and based on the reference at the bottom

fruit = [2 5 6 7]
h=bar(fruit)
l={'apples', 'oranges', 'strawberries', 'pears'}
y=get(h,'Ydata');
x=get(h,'Xdata');
text(x-x(1)/3,y/2,l,'FontSize',18)

Can you please stop calling me Paula?

My answer is exactly what you asked on your first question and now you are asking the easy part

fruit = [2 5 6 7]

bar(fruit)

set(gca,'XTickLabel',

{'apples', 'oranges', 'strawberries','pears'})
