Bar Chart

A chart that compares values across categories using rectangular bars whose lengths are proportional to the values.

Definition

Bars should start at zero. Sorting bars makes ranking easy, and horizontal bars suit long labels.

Exam tip

Bar charts must start at zero; truncated bar axes exaggerate differences.
