Frequently asked questions

Can I create horizontal bar charts?

viz42 generates vertical bar charts by default using Mermaid's xychart-beta syntax. You can rotate the exported chart in your editor for horizontal orientation.

How many categories can a bar chart show?

Bar charts work best with 3-15 categories. viz42 will generate charts with as many categories as you describe, automatically adjusting spacing.

Can I show grouped or stacked bars?

Describe multiple data series in your prompt (e.g., 'sales by region for Q1 and Q2') and viz42 will generate grouped bars for comparison.
