Bar charts handle the entire data and analysis statistics. Bar charts have various kinds of shapes such as vertical and horizontal. The bar chart is used in the corporate sector to define its numerical data and represent its valuable data. The bar chart summarizes the entire topic in a statistical way. Several bars are present in the bar chart and the various kinds of numbers and percentages can be seen in the bar chart. 

Properties of bar charts

Each bar of the bar chart has its information and each bar chart of the width is equal to the column of the bar. That means the width and the column of the bar are equal to each other.  The base is also the same in the bar chart and the base of the bar chart is equal to each other with its height and width. The Height of the bar describes the value of the data. Long highs of the bar describe big values and short bars provide less value of the data. Each distance of the bar chart is the same and carries values. 

Uses of bar charts

The vertical bar chart represents researcher variables. To go through the data, the researcher uses vertical bar charts. The numerical value is placed in the vertical bar charts. The legend of the vertical bar charts is propositional. 

  • “Horizontal (or vertical) grouped bar charts” 

Each of the bar charts is either vertical or horizontal but each of the bars carries value the horizontal and the vertical bar chart is completely different and their position is also different but both of them carry and represent valuable data. Multiple data are present in the horizontal grouped bar chart. To make it clearer and more visible, the horizontal bar graph is used by the value or number in a grouped horizontal chart.

  • “Vertical (or horizontal) stacked bar charts” 

Each of the data is represented in the bar and the categories of the data are also visualized in the bar. A vertically stacked bar is the bar where the data is put in bars.  The data of size are described in this category.
