BarStyle
is an option for bar charts that determines the default style for the bars.
Details and Options
- To use BarStyle, you first need to load the Bar Charts Package using Needs["BarCharts`"].
- If there is only one dataset, the styles are cycled among the bars. If there are multiple datasets, the styles are cycled among the sets.
- If the value is a function, the function is applied to the height of each bar.
Examples
Basic Examples (1)
Needs["BarCharts`"]Use a custom color for the chart:
BarChart[{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8}, BarStyle -> Yellow]For a single set of data, the styles cycle:
BarChart[{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8}, BarStyle -> {Yellow, Green}]Use Directive to combine styles:
BarChart[{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8}, BarStyle -> Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.5]]]For multiple datasets, each set gets its own style:
BarChart[RandomReal[{0.25, 1}, {3, 5}], BarStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]See Also
