I want to generate a barplot with the following characteristics.



There are 5 users in the system. Each user has a demand.
There are 2 suppliers.
Each supplier tries to meet user demand as closely as possible.
One supplier may perform better than the other supplier.



I want a grouped barplot.



There will be two bars for each user (demand and supply)
The supply bar should combine the supplies from two supplies in such a way that the



For example,



Demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
Supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
Supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;


I just want to combine Supply1 and Supply2 in one bar. So, there will only five supply bars. The demand bars and the supply bars are then grouped as shown in the attached figure.



It is like putting one supply bar above another but both should be visible. The shorter one will always on top so that both are visible.



But the problem I have with this plot is that for the last group, I cannot see the red bar, which is somehow hidden below the purple bar.



This one I obtained with MATLAB. I hope Mathematica can help me with what I need.

Update 2: A better approach to pre-processing is to use two separate BarCharts` (as in m_goldberg's answer):



demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;
s = Transpose[Style[#, Blue] & /@ supply1, Style[#, Yellow] & /@ supply2];
sb = SortBy[#, -First[#] &] & /@ s;

b1 = BarChart[Transpose[Style[#, Red] & /@ demand, sb[[All,1]]],
ChartLabels -> Placed["Group " <> ToString[#] & /@ Range[5], Axis],
Placed["D", "S", Axis],
ChartLegends -> SwatchLegend[Red, Blue, Yellow, "D", "S1", "S2"]];

b2 = BarChart[Transpose[Style[#, Red] & /@ demand, sb[[All,2]]]];

Show[b1, b2]


enter image description here



Update: An alternative, more convenient and better, approach is to pre-process data to reorder based on heights:



sb = SortBy[#, -First[#] &] & /@ s;
datab = Join @@ Thread[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, d, sb];

bcb = BarChart[datab, ChartLayout -> "Overlapped",
ChartLegends -> SwatchLegend[Red, Blue, Yellow, "D", "S1", "S2"],
BarSpacing -> 0, .1]


enter image description here



With this approach we don't need to add PerformanceGoal -> "Speed", thus we retain all the tool-tips and and dynamic highlighting.



Original answer:



BarChart does not support mixed layouts (it does not allow combining Grouped and Overlapped layouts). So, we cheat by inserting fake data sets with 0 height betweeen groups to separate the five groups and, to make all rectangles visible, we post-process to re-order the yellow and blue rectangles based on their heights (I added PerformanceGoal -> "Speed" above to make this post-processing easier):



demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;
s = Transpose[Style[#, Blue] & /@ supply1, Style[#, Yellow] & /@ supply2];
d = Thread[Style[#, Red] & /@ demand, Style[0, Opacity[0]]];
data = Join @@ Thread[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, d, s];

bc = BarChart[data,
ChartLayout -> "Overlapped",
ChartLegends -> SwatchLegend[Red, Blue, Yellow, "D", "S1", "S2"],
BarSpacing -> 0, .1, PerformanceGoal -> "Speed"];


enter image description here



bc /. pattern : _, Rectangle[_, _, _, h1_, ___], _, 
Rectangle[_, _, _, h2_, ___] :> If[h2 <= h1, pattern, Reverse[pattern]]


enter image description here



Fixing ticks and labels is an altogether different challenge.

This will reproduce your matlab generated chart.



Demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
Supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
Supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;

b1 = BarChart[Transpose[Demand, Supply2],
ChartStyle -> Automatic, Automatic, Red];
b2 = BarChart[Transpose[Demand, Supply1]];

Show[b1, b2, Frame -> True]


chart



It has the same defect as the matlab chart — the longer blue bar at the right end of chart hides the shorter red bar behind it.

  • $begingroup$
    I suppose that, if OP's purpose is simply to get the plot, one could add Supply1, Supply2 = Transpose[Sort /@ Transpose[Supply1, Supply2]] before the calls to BarChart to "swap" the offending last values from Supply1 and Supply2.

  • $begingroup$
    @MarcoB. Yes, something like that would work, but it would ruin the stark simplicity of this answer :-), which is mainly to point out that hoe easy it is to reproduce the defective matlab chart. I think kglr's answer is better than mine because it makes the chart that is really wanted in a simple way.

Fixing ticks and labels is an altogether different challenge.

Update 2: A better approach to pre-processing is to use two separate BarCharts` (as in m_goldberg's answer):



demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;
s = Transpose[Style[#, Blue] & /@ supply1, Style[#, Yellow] & /@ supply2];
sb = SortBy[#, -First[#] &] & /@ s;

b1 = BarChart[Transpose[Style[#, Red] & /@ demand, sb[[All,1]]],
ChartLabels -> Placed["Group " <> ToString[#] & /@ Range[5], Axis],
Placed["D", "S", Axis],
ChartLegends -> SwatchLegend[Red, Blue, Yellow, "D", "S1", "S2"]];

b2 = BarChart[Transpose[Style[#, Red] & /@ demand, sb[[All,2]]]];

Show[b1, b2]


enter image description here



Update: An alternative, more convenient and better, approach is to pre-process data to reorder based on heights:



sb = SortBy[#, -First[#] &] & /@ s;
datab = Join @@ Thread[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, d, sb];

bcb = BarChart[datab, ChartLayout -> "Overlapped",
ChartLegends -> SwatchLegend[Red, Blue, Yellow, "D", "S1", "S2"],
BarSpacing -> 0, .1]


enter image description here



With this approach we don't need to add PerformanceGoal -> "Speed", thus we retain all the tool-tips and and dynamic highlighting.



Original answer:



BarChart does not support mixed layouts (it does not allow combining Grouped and Overlapped layouts). So, we cheat by inserting fake data sets with 0 height betweeen groups to separate the five groups and, to make all rectangles visible, we post-process to re-order the yellow and blue rectangles based on their heights (I added PerformanceGoal -> "Speed" above to make this post-processing easier):



demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;
s = Transpose[Style[#, Blue] & /@ supply1, Style[#, Yellow] & /@ supply2];
d = Thread[Style[#, Red] & /@ demand, Style[0, Opacity[0]]];
data = Join @@ Thread[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, d, s];

bc = BarChart[data,
ChartLayout -> "Overlapped",
ChartLegends -> SwatchLegend[Red, Blue, Yellow, "D", "S1", "S2"],
BarSpacing -> 0, .1, PerformanceGoal -> "Speed"];


enter image description here



bc /. pattern : _, Rectangle[_, _, _, h1_, ___], _, 
Rectangle[_, _, _, h2_, ___] :> If[h2 <= h1, pattern, Reverse[pattern]]


enter image description here

This will reproduce your matlab generated chart.



Demand = 10, 15, 20, 17, 9;
Supply1 = 8, 13, 18, 14, 11;
Supply2 = 9, 14, 19, 16, 10;

b1 = BarChart[Transpose[Demand, Supply2],
ChartStyle -> Automatic, Automatic, Red];
b2 = BarChart[Transpose[Demand, Supply1]];

Show[b1, b2, Frame -> True]


chart



It has the same defect as the matlab chart — the longer blue bar at the right end of chart hides the shorter red bar behind it.

    I suppose that, if OP's purpose is simply to get the plot, one could add Supply1, Supply2 = Transpose[Sort /@ Transpose[Supply1, Supply2]] before the calls to BarChart to "swap" the offending last values from Supply1 and Supply2.

    @MarcoB. Yes, something like that would work, but it would ruin the stark simplicity of this answer :-), which is mainly to point out that hoe easy it is to reproduce the defective matlab chart. I think kglr's answer is better than mine because it makes the chart that is really wanted in a simple way.
