BAR CHART

Q1. What is the type of mark used in the bar chart?
A. The mark used is a two-dimenional (2D) mark

Q2. List the channels, the attribute they are mapped to, and the data type of that attribute.
** A.** The channel that is used is the magnitude channel.
The attributes for the magnitude channel are horizontal position, and vertical postion.
Vertical position is mapped to the frequency attribute.
Horizontal position is mapped to the letter attribute

Q3. After your changes, list the channels, the attribute they are mapped to, and the data type of that attribute
** A.** The channels that are used is the magnitude channel, and the identity channel.
The attributes for the magnitude channel are horizontal position, and vertical postion.
The attributes for the identity channel is color hue Vertical position is mapped to the frequency attribute.
Horizontal position is mapped to the letter attribute Color hue is mapped to the letter attribute

Q4. After your changes, list the channels, the attribute they are mapped to, and the data type of that attribute. List all of the channels mapped to the frequency attribute.
A. The channels that are used is the magnitude channel.
The attributes for the magnitude channel are horizontal position, vertical postion, and color saturation.
Vertical position is mapped to the frequency attribute.
Horizontal position is mapped to the letter attribute.
Color saturation is mapped to the frequency attribute
