Bar and line charts

Best for trends and comparisons over categories — bars, a line, or both overlaid on a shared x-axis.

xychart-beta
  title "Monthly revenue"
  x-axis [jan, feb, mar, apr, may, jun]
  y-axis "Revenue (USD)" 0 --> 12000
  bar  [5000, 6000, 7500, 8200, 9500, 11000]
  line [4800, 6100, 7300, 9000, 9200, 10800]

The first keyword is xychart-beta (or xychart).

• x-axis [a, b, c] — the categorical column labels.
• y-axis "Title" min --> max — titles the value axis. When both bounds are given they clamp the value scale; otherwise the plot auto-scales.
• bar [...] / line [...] — each adds a series of numbers, index-aligned with the x-axis labels. Mix as many as you like — overlaying a bar and a line is the common combo (shown above).

The card widens as the category count grows so dense charts stay legible. Unrecognized fields are ignored.

Horizontal orientation

Add horizontal to the xychart-beta line to flip the chart — categories run top-to-bottom down the side and values run left-to-right:

xychart-beta horizontal
  title "Budget by region"
  x-axis [North, South, East, West]
  y-axis "USD" 0 --> 50000
  bar [32000, 18000, 27000, 41000]

In horizontal mode the card grows taller (rather than wider) as the category count grows.
