What You'll Learn

Identify the categories on one axis and the measured values on the other axis of a bar graph
Read the height or length of each bar against the scale to find its value
Calculate the scale interval before drawing bars so every value fits proportionally
Draw bars of equal width with equal spacing to represent each category fairly
Compare segments within a stacked bar graph to find both category totals and part values
Apply consistent labeling of axes, title, and units so the graph communicates data clearly
