Vertical Bar Graphs

The Vertical Bar axis types are used to plot data values as bars which extend vertically. The bars for the data objects in a group are spaced evenly across the horizontal axis.

  • CX_AXIS_CLASSIC displays a numeric y-axis to the left of the graph.

  • CX_AXIS_CLASSIC_RIGHT displays a numeric axis to the right.

  • CX_AXIS_DATE and CX_AXIS_DATE_R are used when the data values are dates or times.

  • The isographic equivalents—CX_AXIS_ISO_CLASSIC, CX_AXIS_ISO_CLASSIC_R, CX_AXIS_ISO_DATE, and CX_AXIS_ISO_DATE_R—add a pseudo three-dimensional look to the axes and bars.

The data axis (Y) is defined by an SRGDecimalScale object or SRGLogScale for logarithmic scaling or SRGDateScale for date/time values. The other axis (X) is defined by SRGIndexScale. The annotations from the data items (indices) in group 0 are used to label the axis.

The methods described above for changing the scaling and appearance of Classic axes also apply here.

These axis types are supported by:

  • Vertical Bar graphs

  • Extended Vertical Bar graphs

  • Stacked Vertical Bar graphs

  • Strata Vertical Bar graphs

  • Strata Vertical Bar by Group graphs

  • 100% Strata Vertical Bar graphs

  • 100% Strata Vertical Bar by Group graphs
