This example shows how to create a simple bar graph containing three data series. Data are manualy set using the AddPoint() method of the pData class. The graph function called is drawBarGraph() setting the shadow drawing to TRUE. When doing bar graph, be sure to scale it setting the $WithMargin parameter of the drawScale() function to TRUE. parameters. Running this script will create a example12.png file in the current directory.
