Bar

Overview

The bar widget displays values (dependent variable) for each item (independent variable) as horizontal bars. It provides better readability than column charts when labels are long, such as IP addresses, hostnames, or user accounts, or when there are many items to compare. It is suitable for ranking and size comparisons across items.

For general information about query widgets, see Query widget.
