A bar graph represents the relative sizes of quantities with bars - rectangles - stacked
██████████ apples
█████████ Pears
█████ plums
█████████ figs
or put side-by-side. When stacked as above, the rectangles should have the same height, but widths proportionate to the quantities that they represent. When put side-by-side, the rectangles should have the same width, but heights proportionate to the quantities that they represent.
In the chart above, we see that the quantity of apples is represented as the largest, the quantities of pears and of figs are almost as great and about equal one to another, and the quantity of figs is the least. (These quantities might be production or sales or imports or something else. We'd need more labels to know.)
Bar charts have a fair amount of what John Wilder Tukey called "chart junk"; they use two-dimensional figures to represent one dimension of data! But they are easy to quickly digest. People in business, political science, education, and sociology love 'em.
