A Bar chart is an inverted column chart where the category axis is the vertical axis. A Bar/Column chart draws each series as a bar in a cluster. The number of clusters is the number of points in the data. Each cluster displays the nth data point in each series. Using the LineStyle, the fill properties of each series can be customized. For more information, see Line and Symbol Styles for the Series.
