Bar Type Graphs
Bar type graphs display data as boxes, cones, spindles, diamonds, or as an image. All bar type graphs can be displayed either horizontally or vertically. As with all graph types in Grapher, you have full control over all graph parameters.
Bar charts are made from XY data in a worksheet. The bar is shown at the height indicated in the worksheet cell. Alter line colors, fill colors, orientation, or bar chart shapes. Bar charts can be stacked or adjacent, when multiple data exists for each value.

Bar charts can be filled with different colors, display labels, or be variable widths,
depending on your needs and preferences!
Floating bar charts display similar data except that the bar has both a minimum and maximum defined in the worksheet. All settings can be changed in a manner similar to bar charts.

Display horizontal or vertical bars! Add text labels, overlay multiple bars, or use dates –
whatever you want to display; Grapher has a way to make your data stand out!
Histograms display data in groups or bins. Each bin represents a range of values on the X axis. The height of a bin represents the number of data points that fall within that bin’s range. Histograms can display data as a count or as a relative frequency.

Use an image fill to make your graph more exciting!
Add legends, labels, and fit curves to more accurately represent your data.
