Bar Graph Bar Graph Ð
A Bar graph plots a group of up to three data lists (converted
to bars) for comparison among one category. Bar graphs are
especially useful for comparing data lists (especially when
organized in categories) over a period of time.
The calculator adjusts all bars so that they fit within the
graphing screen. Therefore, the data list with the largest values
is scaled to fit the screen, and then all other bars are graphed
relative to it. Each element in CategList defines a category. You
can define up to seven categories with up to three data bars
per category.
