(Defined in: jpgraph_bar.php : 30)
Class usage and Overview
Concrete class which implements the standard vertical bar plot functionality.
To show horizontal plots you can rotate the graph 90 degrees by $graph->Angle(90);

Class Methods
// The method will take the specified pattern anre// return a pattern index that corresponds to the original// patterm being rotated 90 degreees. This is needed when plottin// Horizontal bars
Argument | Default | Description |
$aPat

$aRotate
|
true
| No description available |

No description available.
Specify width in absolute pixels.
Argument | Default | Description |
$aWidth
| | Width in pixels |
Description:
Specify width in absolute pixels. If specified this overrides any calls to SetWidth()
See also:
$barplot->SetAbsWidth(20);
Set the alignment between the major tick marks doe the bars.
Argument | Default | Description |
$aAlign
| | String to specify alignment |
Description:
Bars can be aligned when using a text scale. Valid arguments for align are 'left', 'center' and 'right'.
Default is to center the bars.
$graph->SetScale("textlin");
// ...
$barplot = new BarPlot($ydata,$xdata);
$barplot->SetAlign("center");
// ...
Specify fill color for bars.
Argument | Default | Description |
$aColor
| | Color specification |
Description:
Set fill color for the bars. The color for the frame around the bar is specified with BarPlot::SetColor() method.
By specifying an array as argument you can assign individual colors to each of the bars. If there are more bars than colors the colros will wrap around.
See also:
// All bars will have the same color
$barplot->SetFillColor('#E234A9');
// The bars will haev individual colors
$barplot->SetFillColor(array('red','blue','green'));
Specify a gradient fill for the bars.
Argument | Default | Description |
$aFromColor
| | No description available |
$aToColor
|
null

$aStyle
|
null
| No description available |
Description:
Gradient fill provides a smooth transition from the 'start' color to the 'end' color. The type of gradient fill can be
- GRAD_VER, Vertical gradient
- GRAD_HOR, Horizontal gradient
- GRAD_MIDHOR, From the center and out, horizontal
- GRAD_MIDVER, From the center and out, vertical
- GRAD_WIDE_MIDVER, From the center and out, vertical. Wide mid section.
- GRAD_WIDE_MIDHOR, From the center and out, horizontal. Wide mid section.
- GRAD_CENTER, From the center and beaming out
- GRAD_LEFT_REFLECTION, Simulates a reflection on the left side
- GRAD_RIGHT_REFLECTION, Simulates a reflection on the right side
- GRAD_RAISED_PANEL, Raised panel with shadow
Since gradient fills make use of many colors and bitmapped images which doesn't use truecolor is limited to 256 colors you might find yourself out of colors if using to many different gadient fills in your graph.
You should also be observant that gradient fills makes use of more CPU time than solid fills.
See also:
$barplot->SetFillgradient('orange','darkred',GRAD_VER);
Dont's paint the interior of the bars with any color.
Description:
Bar plots are filled by default. Calling this method disable the fill of barplots.
This is usefull when you have a background in the image that you want to be shown underneth the bars.

$barplot->SetNoFill();
Add one of the line patterns to the bar
Argument | Default | Description |
$aPattern
| | Pattern |
$aColor
|
'black'
| Color of pattern |
Description:
Add one of the line patterns as fill effect to the bar. Available patterns are:
- 'PATTERN_DIAG1'
- 'PATTERN_DIAG2'
- 'PATTERN_DIAG3'
- 'PATTERN_DIAG4'
- 'PATTERN_CROSS1'
- 'PATTERN_CROSS2'
- 'PATTERN_CROSS3'
- 'PATTERN_CROSS4'
- 'PATTERN_STRIPE1'
- 'PATTERN_STRIPE2'
$barplot->SetPattern('PATTERN_CROSS2');

$barplot->SetShadow();
Specify position for displayed values on bars
Argument | Default | Description |
$aPos
| | Postision |
Description:
Specify position for the values on the bar. Teh position can either be
- 'top', The default value
- 'center'
- 'bottom'
// Put the values in the middle of the bars
$barplot->SetValuePos('center');
Specify width as fractions of the major step size
Argument | Default | Description |
$aWidth
| | No description available |
Description:
Specify width as fractions of the major step size when the scale used is a text scale (which is the normal scale to use for bars).
If the X-axis scale is a linear scale (i.e. lin, int or date) then the width must be specified in absolute pixels.
See also:
// Specify fractions for a text scale
$barplot->SetWidth(0.4);
// Specify absolute width 25 pixels
$barplot->SetWidth(25);
Specify the base value for the bars
Argument | Default | Description |
$aYStartValue
| | Strta Y-value for bars. |
Description:
Specify the start plot for bars, (minimum Y-value). By default the base uses the value 0 as base.
$barplot->SetYBase(100);
DEPRECATED use SetYBase instead
Argument | Default | Description |
$aYStartValue
| | Y-Value for base of bars |
Description:
DEPRECATED use SetYBase() instead
DEPRECATED use SetYBase() instead

Argument | Default | Description |
$datay
| | No description available |
$datax
|
false
| X-positions |
Description:
Create a new bar plot
$bar = new BarPlot($ydata);
