# Clustered/Stacked Filled Bar Graph Generator

I wanted a scriptable bar graph generator for my [PhD
thesis](http://www.burningcutlery.com/derek/phd.html) that supported
stacked and clustered bars, but couldn't find one that played well with
latex and had all the features I wanted, so I built my own. I followed the
scheme of [Graham Williams' barchart shell
script](http://www.togaware.com/datamining/gdatamine/barchart) to have
gnuplot produce fig output and then mangle it to fill in the bars. I added
support for more than just two or three clustered datasets and support for
stacked bars, as well as automatic averaging and other features.

The primary features include:

- Stacked bars of 9+ datasets
- Clustered bars of 8+ datasets
- Clusters of stacked bars
- Lets you keep your data in table format, or separated but listed in the
  same file, rather than requiring each dataset to be in a separate file 
- Custom gnuplot command pass-through for fine-grained customization
  without having a separate tool chain step outside the script 
- Bars can be pattern filled or use solid colors
- Font face control and limited font size control
- Automatic arithmetic or harmonic mean calculation
- Automatic legend creation
- Automatic legend placement in empty space inside the graph
- Automatic sorting, including sorting into SPEC CPU 2000 integer and
  floating point benchmark groups 
- Error bar support 

A [tarball package](https://bintray.com/derekbruening/bargraph/bargraph)
that includes the bargraph script and sample graphs is [available on
BinTray](https://bintray.com/derekbruening/bargraph/bargraph).
