Draws a bar chart. xy start specifies the bottom left hand corner of the first bar the origin on the chart’s xy scale. The x increment specifies the horizontal movement before the next bar is printed. The y increment in n/300 inches determines the height of the bar multiplied by the value. The bar width in n/300 inches specifies the width of the bar. Bar chart values can range from 0 to 3,000. Each bar will have the color and/or shading as specified in the shading command bar 1 is color/shading value 1,.... A maximum of 12 bars can be printed
