.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Abstract base class for bar chart items\&. 

In opposite to almost all other plot items bar charts can't be displayed inside of their bounding rectangle and need a special API how to calculate the width of the bars and how they affect the layout of the attached plot\&.

.PP
Calculate a hint for the canvas margin\&. Bar charts need to reserve some space for displaying the bars for the first and the last sample\&. The hint is calculated from the \fBlayoutHint()\fP depending on the \fBlayoutPolicy()\fP\&.
