You can set the x-axis painter and linkpainter to none. And adjust the y painters to keep only what you want. The only think I'm not yet sure about is how to deal with the percent values. Write the values at the bars is easy by the graph text style, but make them to align at the same position. Well: stack an invisible bar would be a solution. > I'm assuming that I'll load the list and sort it so I can get a sorted > result. Yes, the graph data facilities are quite limited with respect to performing those operations. (Basically all you can do is to do some math on the columns.) I'm sorry for that, but you can always build you own data and pass it to graph.data.list(). However, at some point we should add some useful features to the PyX data containers. > I would also like to be able to try individually colouring the bars. We had a discussion about this just a few months ago: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14963640 Maybe you're also interested in my reply. Overall this solution is fine but we should add an appropriate style to the PyX core. I'll take it onto my todo list.
