Bar Graphs X And Y Axis. The measurements on the axis usually begin at one rising in evenly spaced sections along the axis to show the different sizes of the statistic that is being displayed in the graph. We achieve this by starting the y axis at the value of 15.
Sometimes bar graphs are made so that the bars are sidewise like in the graph below. It s in the top left side of the template window step 3 add labels for the graph s x and y axes. It resembles a white x on a green background.
However by modifying the starting value of the y axis we can skew the interpretation of the chart.
On bar graphs where the bars run horizontally the y axis is placed horizontally from left to right. In most bar graphs like the one above the y axis runs vertically us and down. Bar graphs have three key attributes. To do so click the a1 cell x axis and type in a label then do the same for the b1 cell y axis.
