\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{barchart}
|
|
\barc{5}
|
|
\barc{7}
|
|
\barc{3}
|
|
\end{barchart}
|
|
\end{figure}
|
|
\end{quote}
|
|
|
|
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{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.
|
|
|
|
\section{Bars}
|
|
Each bar can be customized to your liking. This can be done using \texttt{color}, \texttt{width} and \texttt{plain}.
|
|
\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{quote}\small
|
|
\begin{figure}[ht]
|
|
\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}
|
|
|
|
\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{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}
|
|
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{figure}[ht]
|
|
\begin{barchart}[steps = {1,3,5,7,10}]
|
|
\barc{5}
|
|
\barc{7}
|
|
\barc{3}
|
|
\end{barchart}
|
|
\end{figure}
|
|
\end{quote}
|
|
|
|
\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{figure}[ht]
|
|
\begin{barchart}
|
|
\barc{5}
|
|
\barc[plain=true]{7}
|
|
\barc[plain=true]{3}
|
|
\end{barchart}
|
|
\end{figure}
