How to Create a Chart/Graph - continued

Let’s mark our vertical axis with these graduations. It’s very critical that we place these graduations evenly. You’ll want to use a ruler or graph paper to make sure that each is exactly the same size:	That’s the hard part finished, and we can proceed to actually adding the bars. Let’s do Vancouver first. It has an average annual rainfall of 1100 mm. This means that its bar will be a little less than half way between the 1000 graduation and the 1250 graduation:




In a similar way, we create the bars for the other three cities. We chose an aqua shade for the colour of our bars since that’s the colour most easily associated with rainfall. This helps reinforce what our bar graph is all about. That’s it!
