Bar and column charts

Binder  Notebook

Summary: This example shows how to create bar and a column charts in F#.

Let's first create some data for the purpose of creating example charts:

open Plotly.NET

let values = [ 20; 14; 23 ]
let keys = [ "Product A"; "Product B"; "Product C" ]

A bar chart or bar graph is a chart that presents grouped data with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent. The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar chart is called a column bar chart.

Column Charts

let column = Chart.Column(values = values, Keys = keys)

Bar Charts

let bar = Chart.Bar(values = values, Keys = keys)

Stacked bar chart or column charts

The following example shows how to create a stacked bar chart by combining bar charts created by combining multiple Chart.StackedBar charts:

Basically, those charts are just normal bar/column charts with the Layout property BarMode set to Stack. You can do this yourself by changing the Chart layout.

Stacked bar Charts

let stackedBar =
    [ Chart.StackedBar(values = values, Keys = keys, Name = "old")
      Chart.StackedBar(values = [ 8; 21; 13 ], Keys = keys, Name = "new") ]
    |> Chart.combine

(*

let stackedColumn =
    [ Chart.StackedColumn(values = values, Keys = keys, Name = "old")
      Chart.StackedColumn(values = [ 8; 21; 13 ], Keys = keys, Name = "new") ]
    |> Chart.combine
