  styleUrls: ['./bar-chart.component.scss'],
})
export class BarChartComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    // Initialize the google charts
    google.charts.load('current', { packages: ['corechart'] });
    google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(this.drawChart);
  }

  // drawChart function
  drawChart() {
    // prepare the data
    var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
      ['Element', 'Density', { role: 'style' }],
      ['Copper', 8.94, '#b87333'],
      ['Silver', 10.49, 'silver'],

      1,
      {
        calc: 'stringify',
        sourceColumn: 1,
        type: 'string',

      width: 600,
      height: 400,
      bar: { groupWidth: '95%' },
