Bar Chart Style Group - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

Choose the type of bar chart you want to create from the four choices in the group.

Stacked The bars for each variable are stacked on top of each other, creating a single bar chart.

Stacked - Graduated The height of the bars are determined by the ratio of the sum of the values for each record to the value in the at value box in the Customize Bar Styles dialog box. For details, see Customize Bar Styles Dialog Box. For details, see Customize Bar Styles Dialog Box in the Help System.

Multiple Creates a multi-bar chart, one bar for each field. All the bars in each chart are scaled according to the ratio of the height in the Max Height box to the value in the at value box.

Multiple - Independent Creates a multi-bar chart where the bars are scaled independently of one another. The same bar in each chart is scaled according to the ratio of the height in the Height box to the maximum value of its corresponding variable, ignoring the at value settling.

The Graduation list is available only when the Chart Type is Stacked - Graduated or Multiple. It contains the following commands.

Constant Choose Constant to scale linearly.

Log Choose Log to scale logarithmically (base 10). All bars are scaled down to a zero-sized bar for a zero value. The default setting is to scale by a constant, which is best for representing data in one dimension. Since you are only concerned with one dimension in bar charts, the height of the bars, we recommend that you stay with the default scaling method.

• If the chart type is Stacked, then all the bars are the same height, as specified in the Height box, and the value in the at value box is ignored.
• If you choose Stacked - Graduated, the value in the Height box is the height, in paper units, of a stacked bar when the value in the at value text box is the sum of the bar's data values.
• If the bar chart contains Multiple bars with identical scales for each bar, all bars are scaled according to the ratio of Height to the at value.
• If the chart type is Multiple - Independent, at value is ignored and each bar is scaled according to the ratio of Height to its field's or expression's maximum value.

Choose one of the buttons in the Orientation box to set the bar charts' placement and direction with respect to the object's centroid in the base layer. Each button shows a different orientation. The base layer is the map view of the table on which you have chosen to base your thematic map. For example, if you are making a thematic map with bar charts from the States table, the States layer is the base layer. The default is to place the bar chart above the object's centroid in the base layer.
