Grouped bar

A grouped bar chart using the y2 nested dimension. y2 is a band scale whose range is one y band tall, so setting y2="fruit" positions each bar inside its group with no extra code.

<script>
  import { LayerCake, Svg } from 'layercake';
  import { scaleBand } from 'd3-scale';

  import BarGrouped from './_components/BarGrouped.svelte';
  import AxisX from './_components/AxisX.svelte';
  import AxisY from './_components/AxisY.svelte';

  // A flat list of rows, one per bar: { year, fruit, value }
  import data from './_data/yearGroupsLong.js';

  const xKey = 'value';
  const yKey = 'year';
  const y2Key = 'fruit';

  const seriesColors = ['#ff00cc', '#00ccff', '#ffcc00'];

  // `y2="fruit"` is all it takes to position bars within each group. y2 is a
  // scaleBand by default. Its domain comes from the data and its range is one
  // y band tall. Pass `y2Scale` to customize the padding, for example
  // `y2Scale={scaleBand().paddingInner(0.1)}`. You could also skip `y2` and
  // build that band scale inside your own component.
