Gallery - Bar Chart Sketch

Object: bar_sketch

bar_sketch( $alpha, $offset, $colour, $outline_colour )

The only interesting parameter is the $offset. Think of it as the fun factor. 0,1 and 2 are pretty boring. 4 to 6 is a bit fun, 7 and above is lots of fun.

This inherits from outline_bar, see the bar object for details on the other methods and parameters.
