Bar Chart

A bar graph (also called bar chart) is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.

The bars may be drawn vertically or horizontally. The gaps separating the bars are always equal.

Example: A survey of 100 people asked them “which is the nicest fruit?”

Draw a vertical or horizontal bar chart to illustrate the above data.

Nicest Fruits

From the bar chart, it is obvious that the group of people think Apples are the nicest.
