Hi,

The below chart successfully uses Epilog to include some text on the
BarChart:

Needs["BarCharts`"]
barShape1 =
 BarChart[{1, 2, 3},
  Epilog -> {Style[Text["First", {1, 2}, {0, -1}], 12, Red, Bold]}]

However, I want to add a small Polygon to the graph. Again this works
well as long as the Polygon is black:

barShape2 =
 BarChart[{1, 2, 3},
  Epilog -> {Style[Text["First", {1, 2}, {0, -1}], 12, Red, Bold],
    Polygon[{{1.25, 2}, {1.5, 2}, {1.5, 2.25}, {1.25, 2.25}}]}]

But I would like to make the Polygon a red colour. But the below does
not work :

barShape3 =
 BarChart[{1, 2, 3},
  Epilog -> {Style[Text["First", {1, 2}, {0, -1}], 12, Red, Bold],
    Graphics[{Red,
      Polygon[{{1.25, 2}, {1.5, 2}, {1.5, 2.25}, {1.25, 2.25}}]}]}]

Does anyone have a suggestion for adding a coloured Polygon to a
BarChart ?

Regards,
Tom
