The subcommand @subcmd{HISTOGRAM} produces a histogram. Only one variable is allowed for
the histogram plot.
+The keyword @subcmd{NORMAL} may be specified in parentheses, to indicate that the ideal normal curve
+should be superimposed over the histogram.
For an alternative method to produce histograms @pxref{EXAMINE}. The
following example produces a histogram plot for the variable @var{weight}.
/HISTOGRAM = @var{weight}.
@end example
+@cindex bar chart
+The subcommand @subcmd{BAR} produces a bar chart.
+This subcommand requires that a @var{count-function} be specified (with no arguments) or a @var{summary-function} with a variable @var{var1} in parentheses.
+Following the summary or count function, the keyword @subcmd{BY} should be specified and then a catagorical variable, @var{var2}.
+The values of the variable @var{var2} determine the labels of the bars to be plotted.
+Optionally a second categorical variable @var{var3} may be specified in which case a clustered (grouped) bar chart is produced.
+
+Valid count functions are
+@table @subcmd
+@item COUNT
+The weighted counts of the cases in each category.
+@item PCT
+The weighted counts of the cases in each category expressed as a percentage of the total weights of the cases.
+@item CUFREQ
+The cumulative weighted counts of the cases in each category.
+@item CUPCT
+The cumulative weighted counts of the cases in each category expressed as a percentage of the total weights of the cases.
+@end table
+
+The summary function is applied to @var{var1} across all cases in each category.
+The recognised summary functions are:
+@table @subcmd
+@item SUM
+The sum.
+@item MEAN
+The arithmetic mean.
+@item MAXIMUM
+The maximum value.
+@item MINIMUM
+The minimum value.
+@end table
+
+The following examples assume a dataset which is the results of a survey.
+Each respondent has indicated annual income, their sex and city of residence.
+One could create a bar chart showing how the mean income varies between of residents of different cities, thus:
+@example
+GRAPH /BAR = MEAN(@var{income}) BY @var{city}.
+@end example
+
+This can be extended to also indicate how income in each city differs between the sexes.
+@example
+GRAPH /BAR = MEAN(@var{income}) BY @var{city} BY @var{sex}.
+@end example
+
+One might also want to see how many respondents there are from each city. This can be achieved as follows:
+@example
+GRAPH /BAR = COUNT BY @var{city}.
+@end example
+
+Bar charts can also be produced using the @ref{FREQUENCIES} and @ref{CROSSTABS} commands.
