Template talk:Hist5
Add topicThis is an experimental template that produces sideways bars consisting of multiple occurrences of a specified symbol or text (the first parameter). Unfortunately it works only for a fixed number of bars (five): Template:X4, etc. provide repetition of a parameter, but their results (template content) cannot be used as parameter, so even a variable size rectangle (with the sides given by two parameters) is not possible.
Therefore, for general use a series of templates like this would be needed.
See also Template:Hist5 n and Template:Hist10.
{{histogram|x|3|1|5|4|1}} gives:
xxx
x
xxxxx
xxxx
x
{{histogram|oooooo|3|1|5|4|1}} gives:
oooooooooooooooooo
oooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooo
{{histogram|+|3|1|5|4|1}} gives:

{{histogram|-Wikipedia-|3|1|5|4|1}} gives:

For using "=" as repeated symbol, put nowiki tags around it; result:
===
=
=====
====

{{histogram|█|3|1|5|4|1}} gives:

Too few parameters: {{histogram|x|3|1|5|4}} gives:
xxx

xxxxx
xxxx
{{{{{6}}}x|x}}

For more accuracy "|" could be used, but in a table that requires nowiki tags.
