Making a bar chart

Bar Graph Title

Item  Value  Percent
  A   44.52  12.49%  
  B   33.05   9.28%  
  C   28.65   8.04%  
  D   27.23   7.64%  
  E   26.97   7.57%  
  F   25.78   7.23%  
  G   23.21   6.51%  

You will need a small image file to supply one unit of bar. The image will be stretched to fill the height and width you specify.

Here is another way to make a bar chart

Bar Graph Title

A   44.52  12.49%

B   33.05   9.28%

C   28.65   8.04%

D   27.23   7.64%

E   26.97   7.57%

F   25.78   7.23%

G   23.21   6.51%

This method uses table cells filled with a clear image. The color of each bar is determined by the background color of the cell, not by the color of an image. The cell contains the clear image, the image width is stretched to the width specified on the img tag, which causes the table cell to expand to fit the image.

There's a little more setup involved than in the first method, for example in order for each bar to have a unique length each row in the chart must be it's own table, but it's worth the effort.
