xfigchart.pl is a quick and easy way to create bar charts. It uses a commandline interface and takes data values as a table from stdin and writes an XFig file to stdout. Postprocessing of the bar charts is done manually using the free vector drawing tool XFig, with which it is possible to create very complex diagrams mixed with other graphics components in a short time and to use a variety of export filters (PostScript, LaTeX, PNG, etc.).
