Bar Chart Examples
Complete bar chart layouts for category comparison and ranked values.
These examples include the context around the plot, not only the chart component. The values are sample data. Open the Code tab and update data keys, labels, units, summaries, and accessible alternatives together.
Clinic appointments
Use stacked bars when the total and each category's contribution both matter. Replace week, booked, and walkIns, then recalculate the busiest-period summary. Provide a table if readers need each weekly count.
Metro departures
Use this dense single-series layout for evenly spaced categories such as hours. Replace hour and departures, then update the total, peak, and unit labels. Test narrow screens because dense axis labels can become hard to read.
Archive digitization
Use this layout for one measured value across a short ordered sequence. Replace month and scans, then update the operational summary and unit. Make the highest or selected value available in text when it drives a decision.
