A bar axis doesn't have a texter, because it's a descrite axis. Note
that the bar axis is located at the baseline of the bars (the
horizontal axis usually). I guess you want to change the labels at the
value axis (the vertical axis). For that you might need to pass your
own axis instance in the graph constructor graph.graphxy(...,
y=linear(...), ...) instead of relying on the default. In this
instance you create explicitly you can now specify the texter you want
to use.

I hope I have properly guessed your problem. If not just ask again. (A
running example is also always nice to have.)
