A bar chart depicts numeric values against distinct categories in a two-axis plot. On one axis, the category levels are listed. For each category, one bar is plotted, and its length along the other axis corresponds with the numeric value associated with the category. Bar charts can be oriented in two ways, with the bars oriented vertically or horizontally. A pie chart shows how some total amount is divided among distinct categories as a circle (the namesake pie) divided into radial slices. Each category is associated with a single slice whose size corresponds with the category’s proportion of the total.
