  28  <H3><A NAME="7_2_8">7.2.8 Horizontal bar graphs</A></H3>
  29  <P> It can often come in handy to have horizontal bar graphs especially
  30   if you have a large number of values to display. Even though JpGraph
  31   doesn't directly support horizontal bar graphs this is easy achieved by
  32   constructing a normal vertical bar graph which is then rotated 90
  33   degrees.</P>
  34  <P> The example below shows a simple example of this<DIV class="example">
  35  <BR> <A href="exframes/frame_horizbarex3.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
  36  HEIGHT="500"       src="img/img/img/img/img/img/horizbarex3.png" WIDTH="400"></A>
  37  <BR><B>Figure 44:</B> A typical horizontal bar graph with the Y-axis at
  38   the bottom <A href="exframes/frame_horizbarex3.html" target="blank">
  39  [src]</A>&nbsp;
  40  <P></P>
  41  </DIV></P>
  42  <P></P>
  43  <P> In order to achieve this effect you should study the above example
  44   carefully and you might notice two things</P>
  45  <UL>
  46  <LI> We don't simply rotate the graph we also specify that we want the
  47   rotation center to be the middle of the entire image. The reason for
  48   this is that by default (See the section on rotating plots) the pivot
  49   point for rotation is the center of<STRONG> the plot area</STRONG>.
  50   Since the center of the plot area is not necessary the center of the
  51   entire image the rotation might be a little bit difficult to predict
  52   since it will depend on the margins specified. &lt;</LI>
  53  <LI> The size of the plot area is determined from the original width and
  54   height of the image taking the specified margin into account. When the
  55   the plot area is rotated 90 degrees clockwise what was the left margin
  56   now in effect become the upper margin and so on. This is a small nuance
  57   since we conceptually want to specify the margins directly in the
  58   rotated plot.
  59  <BR> In order to more easily handle the margin with rotated images it is
  60   recommended that the method &quot;Set90AndMargin()&quot; is used. This allows the
  61   image to be rotated as well as specifying the margins in an obvious
  62   way.</LI>
  63  </UL>
  64  <P> We finally show three more examples of horizontal bar plots. In the
  65   first plot we have hidden the Y-axis and in the second we have
  66   positioned the Y - axis at top as opposed to the bottom as the first
  67   example shows.</P>
  68  <P><DIV class="example">
  69  <BR> <A href="exframes/frame_horizbarex1.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
  70  HEIGHT="500"       src="img/img/img/img/img/img/horizbarex1.png" WIDTH="400"></A>
  71  <BR><B>Figure 45:</B> Horizontal bar graph with hidden Y axis <A href="exframes/frame_horizbarex1.html"
  72  target="blank">[src]</A>&nbsp;
  73  <P></P>
  74  </DIV></P>
  75  <P><DIV class="example">
  76  <BR> <A href="exframes/frame_horizbarex2.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
  77  HEIGHT="500"       src="img/img/img/img/img/img/horizbarex2.png" WIDTH="400"></A>

  79  target="blank">[src]</A>&nbsp;
  80  <P></P>
  81  </DIV></P>
  82  <P></P>
  83  <P> In the final example which is almost similar to the two first we
  84   illustrate the use of labels with more than one line.<DIV class="example">
