Google Charts – Material bar chart

Following is an example of a material bar chart. We’ve already seen the configuration used to draw this chart in the Google Charts Configuration Syntax chapter. So, let’s see the complete example.

Configurations

We’ve used Bar class to show the material chart.

//classic chart
var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('container'));
 
//Material chart
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById('container'));
 
//set the bar to be horizontal using options
var options = {      
   bars: 'horizontal'        
};
