• Bar graph or bar chart or bar diagram means the same

,

• The recommendation is that we should use a bar graph when we are comparing categorizes data or when we're comparing items between different groups.

,

• The bar ghraph could be either horizontal or vertical

,

• By default, the horizontal axis (or x-axis) shows the data categories. On the other hand, the vertical axis (or y-axis) is the scale for the categories.

,

• They allow the reader to identify patterns or trends in a more easily way than tables with only numeric data.
