Creating a Bar Graph A step by step guide
We will now create a bar graph of the data shown below showing: Average Personal Travel Mileage Wales 2009 Mode of Transport Car Walk Bus Train Cycle Miles 659 244 297 120 44
Average Personal Travel Mileage Wales 2009 700 Identify how many bars are needed. There are five categories here, so you need five bars. There are no negative values therefore we do not need to extend the axes at zero. If the bars are on the horizontal axis, the distance scale will be on the vertical axis. Identify the scale you need for the other axis. Its highest value must be at least 659 and if possible, it should start Draw and label the two axes. The labels are simply Miles travelled for the vertical axis and Mode of transport for the horizontal axis. bars in descending order on the number of miles Now add a title Add the bars. Remember to keep the bars separate and to label each one clearly, here we have placed the 600 500 Miles travelled 400 300 200 100 0 Car Bus Mode of transport Walk Train Cycle
