Vertical and Horizontal Bar Charts

A bar chart is an histogram made up of rectangular bars, whose length is proportional to the values they represent.

It can be oriented vertically and horizontally. In the table below, general characteristics for the vertical bar chart (VBar chart on the Factory’s interface) plot are displayed. The horizontal bar chart (Hbar chart on the Factory’s interface) is described in this section.

Dimension (mandatory fields are in bold)	Type	Description
X	axis/grid	It controls the attribute to be visualized on the x-axis.
Y	output	It controls the output which allows the evaluation of bar heights.
Color	target	It controls the color of the generated traces.

Compared to the VBar chart, the only difference is the switch between X and Y dimensions.

X	output	It controls the output which allows the evaluation of bar widths.
Y	axis/grid	It controls the distribution of points/bars onto the y-axis.
