sorry! This is how it looks atm. the bars are kind of shifted so they are to the left of the number. how do i get them to be shifted like they are in the 1st picture???

It would be easiest to help you if you uploaded both the data and the code that generated your figure, so that we can see exactly how you did it, recreate the figure, and help you fix it.

If that is not possible for some reason, at the very least please post the commands you used to plot the bars, plot the line, and create the x-axis labels.

As the cyclist pointed out, we don't know how your plots were created so we can't be certain what's wrong.

For example, are the month labels a result of specifying xtick and xticklabel or are your data categorical or datetime values?

My guess is that you're specifying x-ticks with datetime values but the x-values are not on the first day of the month. The problem could be fixed using dateshift to shift the dates to the 1st of the month but there are better ways such as specifying xtickformat.

figure;
bar_displacement=.25;%play with this until it is correct
bar(x-bar_displacement,y);
set(gca,'XTick', x);
