Vertical Bar Charts

Vertical bar charts, sometimes named column charts, are most often used to display information over time. For example, average concurrent TSO users by week. With MICF, you can generate simple vertical bar charts and more complex charts with related groups of vertical bars and stacked bars that illustrate the composition of a value, For example, revenue by cost center. These more complex vertical bar charts are discussed in the next two sections.

When you generate a simple vertical bar chart, you can use optional parameters to create logical groups of vertical bars. The chart bars can represent actual values, percentages of the total value, or cumulative percentages. Parameters are provided to control the chart axis scale, data element labels, printed value formats, the color, and pattern that is used to fill the bars, and the color of chart text.
