Today sharing:

Some code that I thought it worth sharing.

It draws what (I think) are pleasing bar graphs.

Just realized that most people here don't know you can whip out a bar graph to put somewhere without leaving the browser...

HOW TO USE

 

To use you can install LaTeX. Or you can use Overleaf.com, for example, if you don't want to install anything; both will produce a pdf document.

Many people find using LaTeX difficult, but to grok it well, you merely need some better examples.
