Yes, there are many.

The most common are the vertical bars, with each bar representing a different category and the height of each bar representing some measure for that category. A simple alternative is to turn the chart on its side so that the bars are horizontal.


One variation of the basic bar chart is the clustered bars, where each bar is replaced by a cluster of bars. Each cluster representing a category (as before) and each bar within the cluster representing a sub-category. Instead of being side-by-side the clustered bars can be arranged one of top of another so that you have a stacked bar graph. The vertical axis can then be modified to show percentages rather than the actual levels.


A variant of the horizontal bar graph is the back-to-back horizontal bar graph. This is used when each horizontal category is divided into two subcategories which you may wish to compare. Such charts are typically used for population pyramids - to illustrate the population of a country by age (in groups and gender. From bottom to top would be age groups 0-4, 5-9, 10-14 and so on. Horizontal bars for males on one side and females on the other.


These are just some of the variations. There are very many more.
