<?# AsciiCast cast="bar-chart" /?>
## Usage
### Basic usage
```csharp
AnsiConsole.Write(new BarChart()
.Width(60)
.Label("[green bold underline]Number of fruits[/]")
.CenterLabel()
.AddItem("Apple", 12, Color.Yellow)
.AddItem("Orange", 54, Color.Green)
.AddItem("Banana", 33, Color.Red));
```
### Add items with converter
```csharp
// Create a list of fruits
var items = new List<(string Label, double Value)>
{
("Apple", 12),
("Orange", 54),
("Banana", 33),
};
// Render bar chart
AnsiConsole.Write(new BarChart()
.Width(60)
.Label("[green bold underline]Number of fruits[/]")
.CenterLabel()
.AddItems(items, (item) => new BarChartItem(
item.Label, item.Value, Color.Yellow)));
```
### Add items implementing IBarChartItem
```csharp
public sealed class Fruit : IBarChartItem
{
public string Label { get; set; }
public double Value { get; set; }
public Color? Color { get; set; }
public Fruit(string label, double value, Color? color = null)
{
Label = label;
Value = value;
Color = color;
}
}
// Create a list of fruits
var items = new List<Fruit>
{
new Fruit("Apple", 12, Color.Yellow),
new Fruit("Orange", 54, Color.Red),
new Fruit("Banana", 33, Color.Green),
};
// Render bar chart
AnsiConsole.Write(new BarChart()
.Width(60)
.Label("[green bold underline]Number of fruits[/]")
.CenterLabel()
.AddItem(new Fruit("Mango", 3))
.AddItems(items));
```
