SYNOPSIS
       xfigbar [-f fraction] [-g units] [-p] [-s width] [-t margin] [-w width]

DESCRIPTION
       Xfigbar is for making a bar chart for xfig. The output, in xfig format,
       is printed to stdout.

       The bars may have the color/fill changed, and  labels  added  in  xfig.

	   xfigbar 1 2 3 4 > myfile.fig
	   xfig myfile.fig


OPTIONS
       -f fraction
	      Fraction of slot occupied by bar, 0 <= fraction < =1 (0.5).

       -g units
	      Specify the grid units (factor of 10).

       -p     Use patterns for fill type, instead of solids.

       -s width
	      Add shadows to the bar chart of offset width (66).

       -t margin
	      Top margin (1800).

       -w width
	      Size of a bar plus its separation, ie., slot size (2400).

       -x xcoord
	      X coordinate of lower left of bar chart (1800).

       -y ycoord
	      Y coordinate of lower left of bar chart (9600).

       -v     Print the program's version information.

       -e     Remaining arguments on command line specify bar heights.

       height1 height2 height3 ...
	      Height  of individual bars, (heightN comma delimited for stacked
	      bars, ie., h1a,h1b,h1c h2a,h2b,h2c ...)
