Bar Charts

Simple Bar Chart

Bar Chart is the simplest and most versatile of all statistical diagrams. It compares values across categories and is ideal to highlight variations in an item value over time using horizontal bars. Points from adjacent series are drawn as bars next to each other.

Stacked Bar Chart

Stacked Bar Charts are Bar charts with Y-values stacked over one another in the series order. Chart data can be viewed as sum of series parts when using the Stacked Bar Chart.

Percent Stacked Bar Chart

The Percent Stacked Bar chart type displays stacked bars for different series as a percentage of the total stacked element. Hence, the X-axis will always be displayed with the range "0 - 100". This chart type is best suited for depicting relative contribution of data points.

Gantt Chart

Frequently used in project management, a Gantt Chart provides a graphical illustration of a schedule to help plan, coordinate, and track specific tasks of a project.

Key Features:

• Provides a graphical representation of the duration of the task against the progression of time.
• Each task takes up one row.
• The expected time requirement for each task is represented by a horizontal bar whose left and right ends mark the beginning and completion date of the task.
• Another bar usually rendered behind the above mentioned bar is used to represent the progression of the task.
• Tasks may run in a sequential, parallel or overlapped fashion.

Histogram Chart

Histogram is a Bar (column) chart of a frequency distribution in which the width of the bar is proportional to the variable class and the height of the bar is proportional to the class frequency. The categories are generally non-overlapping intervals of the variable. The categories (bars) must be continuous. In addition, the chart has the capability to display a normal distribution curve.

Tornado Chart

The Tornado Chart is a Bar chart which shows the variability of an output with respect to different inputs. Variability is displayed using relative lengths of bars across a range. Tornado Chart is mainly used in sensitivity analysis and shows how different random factors can influence the prognostic outcome of a variable.
