Now, use the co py function to place one copy of the
rectangle
on each graduation as shown in figure 7.25.
Since the first reference rectangle is no longer needed,
erase it.
The series of copies made on the graph axis will
determine
the width of each bar . Use the filled rectangle to
draw the bars at the proper size. Ensure that each one is as wide
as the reference. Begin each rectangle ju st below the surface of
the axis so the bottom outline of the rectangle will blend with
the axis.
Choose a different pattern for each bar. Th e result
appears in figure 7.26. The bar heights will have to be
approximated.
To complete the graph, label the bars and erase the excess
from the reference rectangles if necessary. The final product
appears in figure 7.27.
