**What it does**

This tool builds a bar chart on one or more columns. Suppose you have dataset like this one::

  Gene1 10      15
  Gene2 20      14
  Gene3 67      45
  Gene4 55      12

Graphing columns 2 and 3 while using column 1 for X Tick Labels will produce the following plot:

.. image:: ../static/images/bar_chart.png 
   :height: 324 
   :width: 540
