A bar graph is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights. A stacked bar graph breaks down and compares parts of a whole using different colors to illustrate categories within each bar. A grouped bar graph has two or more color-coded bars for each categorical group to represent a particular grouping.

A bar graph is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.

Problem 1: Suppose a survey of your friends was done to determine the


type of movie that they like.
Comedy 4
Action 5
Romance 6
Drama 1
SciFi 4
Display the data using a bar graph.

Horizontal Bar Graphs

• Make the necessary changes for x and y axis and in barplot function set
argument “horiz” to true.
•Repeat problems 1 & 2 to draw an horizontal bar graph.
•Problem 2 Solution

• Problem 1 Solution
Stacked Bar Graph

•It is a bar graph that is used to break down and compare parts of a whole.

•Different colours are used to illustrate the different categories in the bar.

•Problem 1: The following data is given. Depict it in a stacked bar graph.

Instrument No of Boys Girls


Students
Drum 3 2 1
Trombone 8 5 3
Trumpet 7 3 4
Tuba 2 1 1
Stacked Bar Graph

• The legend() function is used to specify the legend.

• It has many arguments. We consider 4 of them

• First: Legend’s position: left, right, center, top, topleft, topright, bottom,
bottomleft, bottomright.

• Second: Vector containing the text of the legend.

• Third: cex=1.5. The character expansion factor. It is a numeric value


giving the amount by which plotting text and symbols must be
magnified relative to the default.

• Fourth: fill. The colours in the legend

Grouped Bar Graph

•In a Grouped Bar Graph, for each categorical group, there are 2 or more
bars.

•These bars are colour-coded to represent a particular grouping.

•In the barplot() method, beside is a logical value.

•If FALSE, the columns of the height are portrayed as stacked bars and if
TRUE the columns are portrayed as juxtaposed bars.

Summary
 A bar graph is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.

 A Stacked Bar Graph is a bar graph that is used to break down and compare
parts of a whole. Different colours are used to illustrate the different
categories in the bar.

 In a Grouped Bar Graph, for each categorical group, there are 2 or more
bars. These bars are colour-coded to represent a particular grouping.
