The different graph dimension have no special meaning at all in PyX.
It all is triggered by the data and the axes you pass to a graph. You
can for example just exchange x and y in the minimal bargraph example
and you'll get horizontal bars:

    from pyx import *

    g = graph.graphxy(width=8, y=graph.axis.bar())
    g.plot(graph.data.file("minimal.dat", yname=0, x=2), [graph.style.bar()])
    g.writeEPSfile("minimal")
    g.writePDFfile("minimal")

HTH,


André
