Template:Bar box/doc

{{Bar box}}, {{bar percent}}, {{bar pixel}}, {{bar log}}, {{bar stacked}}, {{bar box break}}, and {{bar gap}} are a family of templates for construction of horizontal bar charts.

Usage

{{Bar box
|width   =  width of the graph         (optional)
|barwidth=  width of the bar area      (optional, defaults to 100px)
|float   =  (left|right|none)          (optional, defaults to none)
|title   =  title of the chart         (optional)
|titlebar=  title bar colour           (optional, defaults to none)
|left1   =  first left column header   (optional)
|left2   =  second left column header  (optional)
|right1  =  first right column header  (optional)
|right2  =  second right column header (optional)
|bars    =  chart contents             (see below)
|caption =  caption under the chart    (optional)
}}

Chart contents

The chart can contain any number of bars. There are four types:

Percentage bar

{{bar percent|row label|colour|value (width in percents)|optional value label}}

If value label is not provided, it is constructed from the percentage and "%". This bar type also has the {{bar percent 2}} and {{bar percent 3}} variations which display more bars for the same row label.

Pixel bar

{{bar pixel|row label|colour|value (width in pixels)|value suffix|optional value label}}

If value label is provided, value suffix is ignored. Otherwise, the value label is constructed from the value and the value suffix. This is used as shorthand. Both following examples give identical results:

{{bar pixel|foo|red|12||12,345}}
{{bar pixel|foo|red|12|,345}}

This bar type also has the {{bar pixel 2}} variation which displays two bars for the same row label.

Logarithmic bar

{{bar log|log base|row label|colour|value|value suffix|optional value label}}

Identical to Pixel bar, except the width is calculated as log_base(value)× 30. Default base is 2, which makes a regular sidebar sized graph for values <100. Increase the base to handle larger numbers and make the bars shorter. As with {{bar pixel}}, when value + value_suffix = optional_value_label, they display the same:

{{bar log|2|foo|red|100||100,345}}
{{bar log|2|foo|red|100|,345}}

Stacked bars

{{bar stacked|1st left label|1st right label|color 1|width 1 (in pixels)|...|color 5|width 5 (in pixels)|note1=2nd left label|note2=2nd right label|title1="tooltip" 1|...|title5="tooltip" 5|align=xxxx(l|c|r|d)|collapsed=(yes|y|1)|id=collapsible id}}

titlex sets the "tooltip" of the respective bar and is viewed when hovered over. align sets the text-alignment (left, center, right or default) for each column based on the respective initials. All parameters are optional, but if id is not supplied, collapsed has no effect. Use a custom toggle as the default toggle will distort the chart (see the last example).

Gap bar

{{bar gap|optional separator|height=any valid length (omitting unit defaults to px, default is 10px)}}

Omitting the separator generates a blank row. Another useful separator is <hr> which produces a horizontal line.

Break
{{Bar box break}} is a template to split bar box tables into multiple charts while maintaining alignment of the columns.

Examples

Using {{bar percent}}:

{{Bar box
|float=right
|caption=distribution of stuff
|barwidth=200px
|bars=
{{bar percent|foo|red|30}}
{{bar percent|bar|green|40}}
{{bar percent|baz|blue|20}}
{{bar gap|qux}}
{{bar percent|bla|orange|8}}
{{bar percent|bla1|teal|2|1/50}}
}}

foo			30%
bar			40%
baz			20%
qux
bla			8%
bla1			1/50
distribution of stuff

Using {{bar pixel}}:

{{Bar box
|title=Quantity of stuff
|titlebar=#DDD
|left1=kinds of stuff
|right2=pcs.
|width=400px
|bars=
{{bar pixel|Foobar|red|33|,213}}
{{bar pixel|Barfoo|green|123|,123}}
{{bar pixel|Bazbar|blue|210|,121}}
{{bar pixel|Barfoobaz|orange|13||12,854}}
|caption=Some stuff displayed by quantity.
}}

Quantity of stuff kinds of stuff pcs. Foobar   33,213 Barfoo   123,123 Bazbar   210,121 Barfoobaz   12,854 Some stuff displayed by quantity.

Using {{bar log}}:

{{Bar box
|float=right
|title=Quantity of stuff
|titlebar=#DDD
|left1=kinds of stuff
|right2=pcs.
|width=400px
|bars=
{{bar log|10|Foobar|red|33|,213}}
{{bar log|10|Barfoo|green|123|,123}}
{{bar log|10|Bazbar|blue|910|,121}}
{{bar log|10|Foobaz|orange|2||1,854}}
|caption=Some stuff displayed on a log scale.
}}

Using {{bar percent 2}}:

{{Bar box
|title=Election results
|titlebar=#AAF
|left1=party
|left2=year
|right1=votes
|right2=change
|width=300px
|bars=
{{bar percent 2|Left|1898|silver|33|1902|red|42|+9%}}
{{bar percent 2|Right|1898|silver|40|1902|black|35|-5%}}
{{bar percent 2|Middle|1898|silver|17|1902|blue|10|-7%}}
{{bar percent 2|Other|1898|silver|10|1902|gray|13|+3%}}
|caption=1902 and 1898 election results in Freedonia compared.
}}

Using {{bar stacked}}:

{{Bar box
|float=right
|width=300px
|title=
<div class="mw-customtoggle-a mw-customtoggle-b">Toggle all</div>
<div class="mw-customtoggle-b">Toggle last item</div>
|bars=
{{bar stacked|January|(---)|red|3|blue|22|align=ddcd|id=a}}
{{bar stacked|February|+60.3%|red|8|blue|26|green|6|id=a}}
