Bar Diagrams for Problem Solving. Create manufacturing and economics bar charts with Bar Graphs Solution

The vector stencils library Bar charts contains templates you can simply drag from the library to your document in the the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software, and add your data.
"A bar chart or bar graph is a chart with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent. The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes called a column bar chart. ...
A bar graph is a chart that uses either horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. One axis of the chart shows the specific categories being compared, and the other axis represents a discrete value. Some bar graphs present bars clustered in groups of more than one (grouped bar graphs), and others show the bars divided into subparts to show cumulate effect (stacked bar graphs)." [Bar chart. Wikipedia]
The graph template set "Design elements - Bar charts" is included the Basic Bar Graphs solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Use this vertical bar chart template to design your column charts in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Bar graphs can ... be used for more complex comparisons of data with grouped bar charts and stacked bar charts. In a grouped bar chart, for each categorical group there are two or more bars. These bars are color-coded to represent a particular grouping. For example, a business owner with two stores might make a grouped bar chart with different colored bars to represent each store: the horizontal axis would show the months of the year and the vertical axis would show the revenue. Alternatively, a stacked bar chart could be used. The stacked bar chart stacks bars that represent different groups on top of each other. The height of the resulting bar shows the combined result of the groups. However, stacked bar charts are not suited to datasets where some groups have negative values. In such cases, grouped bar charts are preferable." [Bar chart. Wikipedia]
The column chart template "Double bar graph" is included in the Basic Bar Graphs solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Composition charts" contains 6 templates: 2 pie charts, 2 divided bar charts and 2 double divided bar charts.
The vector stencils library "Composition indicators" contains 6 templates of visual indicators.
Use these design elements to visualize composition comparison of your data in your visual dashboard created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each sector (and consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it represents. While it is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced, there are variations on the way it can be presented. ...
An obvious flaw exhibited by pie charts is that they cannot show more than a few values without separating the visual encoding (the “slices”) from the data they represent (typically percentages). When slices become too small, pie charts have to rely on colors, textures or arrows so the reader can understand them. This makes them unsuitable for use with larger amounts of data. Pie charts also take up a larger amount of space on the page compared to the more flexible alternative of bar charts, which do not need to have separate legends, and can also display other values such as averages or targets at the same time. ...
Most subjects have difficulty ordering the slices in the pie chart by size; when the bar chart is used the comparison is much easier. Similarly, comparisons between data sets are easier using the bar chart. However, if the goal is to compare a given category (a slice of the pie) with the total (the whole pie) in a single chart and the multiple is close to 25 or 50 percent, then a pie chart can often be more effective than a bar graph."

The example "Design elements - Composition charts and indicators" is included in the Composition Dashboard solution from the area "What is a Dashboard" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This picture bar graph sample shows the Barrie population growth from 1981 to 2006. It was designed on the base of the Wikimedia Commons file: Barrie Population.jpg.

"Barrie is a city in Central Ontario, Canada, on the western shore of Lake Simcoe. Although located in Simcoe County, the city is politically independent. Barrie is within the northern part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, a densely populated and industrialized region of Ontario.
In 2011 census, the city's population was originally reported as 135,711, making it the 34th largest in Canada. The city's 2011 population was subsequently revised to 136,063. The Barrie census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 187,013 residents, making it the 21st largest CMA in Canada." [Barrie. Wikipedia]
The pictorial chart example "Barrie population" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Picture Graphs solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
