Bar chart

Compares different values that are hierarchically equivalent. Each bar is mapped to a dimension value with a length determined by a metric.

last modified: 01/01/1601 01:00:00

Overview

Bar chart is used to compare values and show trends over time. In a billing context for example, a bar chart allows the user to grab quickly his billing information, make comparisons and track his billing trends.

Comparative bar chart is used to compare values across multiple categories. It makes easy to identify patterns, trends, and differences in the data.
To maintain clarity and simplicity in the comparative bar chart, a maximum of two bars per axis label is permitted.


Anatomy

  1. Chart navigation
  2. Chart frame
    The chart frame is the area where the data will be visualized
  3. Ticks
    Help the reader understand the proportions and scale of the data, the indicators involved, and their unit of measure
  4. Axe Start at zero
  5. Max value
  6. Bars
  7. Axis label
  8. Legend heading
  9. Legends
    The Legends explain the chart’s meaning by defining the association of each color property to the corresponding data.

Behavior

Pressed state

In desktop, when you click on one column in the bar chart, the other columns become slightly faded or less prominent. This effect is designed to draw attention to the pressed column, making it easier to see and analyze.

X-axis

Axis labels can be configured to display various time-related categories, such as weekdays, specific days of the month, or entire months. The chart can be set to show 6 labels on mobile devices and 12 labels on desktop screens for better readability.

Value 0 vs No data

In certain scenarios, it's important to distinguish between a data value of 0 and the absence of data. In such specific cases, we assign a minimum height to the bar representing the value 0 to ensure clear visual differentiation from the absence of data

  1. Value 0
  2. No data

Chart colors

Predefined colors are established for the Chart Bar component, carefully chosen to ensure suitable levels of contrast and visual clarity.
Our status colors continue to hold semantic significance within the chart while the others are versatile and can be employed for various purposes.

Accessibility of Table

Bar chart is a table element. Please check documentation of Table about accessibility.

You have to link <table> to a descriptive title via aria-labelledby="ac-chartID-title" attribute.

Depending on the number of bars per column, you have to put colspan attribute on certain th and td tags. Be careful!

Bars are <td> tag. Their values are inside <span class="show-for-sr"> tag.

th may be truncated (copy or automatic design that add "..." when space missing), that's why title attribute is needed with complete value.

Accessibility of selection

Labels below bars are buttons and must control show/hide state of content below the bar chart. Links them with:

  • aria-controls="ac-ID" on button
  • same ID on element to show and hide

Add the aria-expanded="false" attribute to the button tag. The value depends on the state of the element linked to the button (shown: true / hidden: false).

Accessibility of Spinner

Please check documentation of Spinner about accessibility.

Be careful with colspan attribute on td around Spinner. Its value depends on the number of bars per column: 2 for 1 bar, 3 for 2 bars.

Razor

How does it work

Barchart use CSS loaded on demand. You need to add data-rslib-css-load="rslib.css.barchart" attribute to load it. Inception library will load all necessary CSS.

Default graph

Bar height

Height is set via inline style: style="height:100%" . Height is a pourcent of full table height.

No bar for a column? Just put style="height:0%" .

Show/Hide bars column for navigation and per breakpoint

On mobile, show maximum 6 columns tr (1 or 2 bars + label). On desktop, maximum 12.

You can show/hide bars column tr with hide , hide-for-small-only and show-for-medium-up classes.

Gridding

Please, always use small gridding 12, not less. For medium-up, you can use little gridding and change bars column quantity.

Coloured bars are <td> tag with a colour class like rs-barchart-color-blue . Check colours list.
