\section{Introduction}
\texttt{barchart} is a \LaTeX\space package for creating simple and easy to use bar-chart. The package is heavily inspired by \texttt{bchart} by Tobias Kuhn. \texttt{barchart} provides an easy way to create vertical barcharts using Tikz.

\section{Charts}
\texttt{barchart} comes with a variety of customization options for both the overall chart and for each individual bar. A simple chart can be done like this:
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{figure}
\end{quote}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
The only arguments that are mandatory is the bar value. The charts can be changed using a few simple options such as \texttt{min}, \texttt{max} and \texttt{step}.
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[min = 0, max = 60, step = 10, height=0.25em]
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[min = 0, max = 60, step = 10, height=0.25em]
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{barchart}[min = 0, max = 60, step = 10, height=0.25em]
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\end{barchart}
\end{figure}
\end{quote}
\texttt{height} is used to set the height of the whole chart. Omitting a height on charts with large \texttt{max} values will make the chart enormous.

\texttt{color} changes the color of each bar like:
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[step = 2]
\barc[color=yellow!60]{5}
\barc[color=orange!60]{7}
\barc[color=cyan!60]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}

\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[step = 2]
\barc[color=yellow!60]{5}
\barc[color=orange!60]{7}
\barc[color=cyan!60]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{figure}
\end{quote}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}[step = 2]
\barc[color=yellow!60]{5}
\barc[color=orange!60]{7}
\barc[color=cyan!60]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\texttt{width} changes the width of each bar:
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[step = 2]
\barc[width=40pt]{5}
\barc[width=30pt]{7}
\barc[width=50pt]{3}
\barc[width=20pt]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[step = 2]
\barc[width=40pt]{5}
\barc[width=30pt]{7}
\barc[width=50pt]{3}
\barc[width=20pt]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{figure}
\end{quote}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}[step = 2]
\barc[width=40pt]{5}
\barc[width=30pt]{7}
\barc[width=50pt]{3}
\barc[width=20pt]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
Using less than \texttt{20pt} is not recommended. Instead of using pre-defined step as the examples have shown so far, \texttt{steps} can be used.
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[steps = {1,3,5,7,10}]
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small

\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[steps = {1,3,5,7,10}]
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{figure}
\end{quote}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}

\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\texttt{plain} is a boolean which can either be \texttt{true} or \texttt{false} and removes the label on the bar.
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barc[plain=true]{7}
\barc[plain=true]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small

\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barc[plain=true]{7}
\barc[plain=true]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\section{Skips}
Between each bar a skip can be implemented to have more or less room. This is done using \texttt{\textbackslash barcskip\{\}}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barcskip{10pt}
\barc{7}
\barcskip{20pt}
\barc{3}
\barcskip{30pt}
\barc{2}
\barcskip{-5pt}
\barc{6}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\barcskip{10pt}
\barc{7}
\barcskip{20pt}
\barc{3}
\barcskip{30pt}
\barc{2}
\barcskip{-5pt}
\barc{6}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
The skips can either be made with positive or negative \texttt{pt} or using default skip sizes as \texttt{\textbackslash smallskip}, \texttt{\textbackslash medskip} and \texttt{\textbackslash bigskip}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}
\barc{5}
\smallskip
\barc{7}
\medskip
\barc{3}
\bigskip
\barc{2}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}

\barc{7}
\medskip
\barc{3}
\bigskip
\barc{2}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\section{Labels}
The package also include various ways of labeling the charts. Both the chart and its individual bars can be labeled.
The chart can be labeled using:
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[label= A nice chart]
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\barc{2}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}[label= A nice chart]
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\barc{2}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
Each bar can also have their own label. These labels are positioned below the x-axis.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[label=A nice chart]
\barc[label=Some]{5}
\barc[label=Nice]{7}
\barc[label=Labels]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}[label=A nice chart]
\barc[label=Some]{5}
\barc[label=Nice]{7}
\barc[label=Labels]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
These labels can also be rotated, so they are easier to read using \texttt{rotation=true}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}
\barc[label=Some, rotation=true]{5}
\barc[label=Nice, rotation=true]{7}
\barc[label=Labels, rotation=true]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}
\barc[label=Som, rotation=truee]{5}
\barc[label=Nice, rotation=true]{7}
\barc[label=Labels, rotation=true]{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\section{Scaling}
If the charts become too big or small, it is possible to scale them using \texttt{scale}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[scale = 0.5]
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}[scale=0.5]
\barc{5}
\barc{7}
\barc{3}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
But sometimes it is not enough to just scale the chart. Using \texttt{height} it is possible to set a fixed height of the chart.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[l][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[min=0, max=500,
step = 100, height=0.05ex]
\barc{500}
\barc{70}
\barc{300}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}[r][][c]{0.45\linewidth}
\begin{barchart}[min=0, max=500, step = 100, height=0.05ex]
\barc{500}
\barc{70}
\barc{300}
\end{barchart}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\section{Known Issues}
When using large values for each bar, it is important to set a fixed height like:
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{barchart}[label= A nice chart, min=0, max=100, height=0.2ex, step=20]
\barc{50}
\barc{70}
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\barc{70}
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\barc{70}
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\end{barchart}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}\small
\begin{barchart}[label= A nice chart, min=0, max=100, height=0.2ex, step=20]
\barc{50}
\barc{70}
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\barc{70}
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\barc{50}
\barc{70}
\barc{30}
\barc{20}
\end{barchart}
\end{quote}
