A reformatted gist of the "Potential solution to bar chart values" post for flot

flot.barchart-example.js

// initially from this code, just reformatted 
// https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/flot-graphs/bar$20chart/flot-graphs/T0jFBEGozXU/rHk1sCNc-VgJ

// plotted the graph
var graph = $.plot($(css_id), data, options); 
 //get x pos of graph
var graphx = $("#coding_graph").offset().left;

//get y pos of graph
var graphy = $("#coding_graph").offset().top;

//set up a variable to use in getting data from array
var h = -1;

$("#coding_graph .tickLabels .xAxis .tickLabel").each(function() {
  // increase that so goes 0,1,2,3 etc
  h++;
  //so y pos of graph to number of decimal places plus y of tick label minus a number to get it to line up
  var posy = (((graphy.toFixed(0) * 1)) + ($(this).css('top').replace("px", "") * 1) - 110);

  // so x pos of graph to number of decimal places plus x of tick label 
  // then another function to get the values to fit in the bars (could use bar: width: option here)
  var posx = (($(this).css('left').replace("px", "") * 1) + (graphx.toFixed(0) * 1) + (h * 15) + 15);

 // normal showTooltip function from the interactive flot example
  showTooltip(posx, posy, data[0].data[h][1]);
});
