  I'm a little confused by Monica's reply below.  I have done IGRAPH bar
charts and colored the bars different colors, but the bars represented
different categories of one variable.  I don't see any way to do a bar
chart with multiple variables.

  Regarding the older "main" charts, version 12 will allow you to color
the bars differently.  I just had the pleasure of being a beta-tester
of the new graphics in version 12.  There are a lot of nice new features.

     Sincerely,

       Sally in Seattle
