GCHBRSUM

[GCHBRSUM(a)-Horizontal Bar chart with SUM statistic]

This example produces two bar charts that show the total sales for three sites by charting the values of the character variable SITE and calculating the sum of the variable SALES for each site.

In the horizontal bar chart shown above, the summary statistics are printed by default to the right of the bars and display the formatted values of SALES.

The output also shows the frame that is drawn by default around the axis area.

The second bar chart is a three-dimensional vertical bar chart, shown in the following output. Vertical bar charts do not generate a table of statistics and by default do not print any chart statistics.
