Question

basically here is a code, what the question asked to do is to create a graph in quickdraw using the data given to us. now the problem is when i run the program it gives me a few errors. i am new at this and any help would be appreciated. example data is:

Medal Count by Country for the 2010 Olympics
Country,Gold,Silver,Bronze,Total
US,9,15,13,37
GE,10,13,7,30
CA,14,7,5,26
NO,9,8,6,23
AU,4,6,6,16
RF,3,5,7,15
KO,6,6,2,14
CH,5,2,4,11
SW,5,2,4,11
FR,2,3,6,11

# this program basically reads the input from the user, putting/storing it in blank lists which are then graphed
# on quickdraw to show the data collected. user also inputs the graph title and other information which should be included in the data/.txt file.

I do not know which value you have incorrect, but it is easier to say instead

print('text "%s" %s %s "%s" right' % 
      (valuesgap*scalevalues, scaletip, GRAPHBOTTOM+(scalesygap*scalesvaluesygap), name))

thank you it worked ! another question if i wanted to use a colors list such as this one

colors = ["color 0 0 255","color 0 255 0","color 255 0 0","color 255 255 0","color 155 255 0","color 255 155 0","color 0 155 255","color 0 200 210","color 200 255 120","color 100 200 255","color 110 220 255","color 24 145 200","color 10 100 240","color 199 99 201","color 181 247 111"]

how would i go about putting that in the same loop as the bars so that it would show in different colors?

I just reposted my code for histograms using turtle graphics, you could do something similar:
