+# Bar gauge panel
+
+The bar gauge simplifies your data by reducing every field to a single value. You choose how Grafana calculates the reduction.
+
+This panel can show one or more bar gauges depending on how many series, rows, or columns your query returns.

+## Data and field options
+
+Bar gauge visualizations allow you to apply:
+- Data transformations
+- Field settings
+- Field overrides
+- [Thresholds]({{< relref "../thresholds.md" >}})
+- Value mappings
+
+## Display options
+
+Use the following options to refine your visualization:
+
+- **Show -** Choose how Grafana displays your data.
+  - **Calculate -** Show a calculated value based on all rows.
+  - **All values -** Show a separate stat for every row. If you select this option, then you can also select a **Limit**, or the maximum number of rows to display.
+- **Value -** Select a reducer function that Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. Click the **Value** list to see functions and brief descriptions.
+- **Orientation -** Choose a stacking direction.
+  - **Auto -** Grafana selects what it thinks is the best orientation.
+  - **Horizontal -** Bars stretch horizontally, left to right.
+  - **Vertical -** Bars stretch vertically, top to bottom.
+- **Display mode -** Choose a display mode.
+  - **Gradient -** Threshold levels define a gradient.
+  - **Retro LCD -** The gauge is split into small cells that are lit or unlit.
+  - **Basic -** Single color based on the matching threshold.
+- **Show unfilled area -** Select this if you want to render the unfilled region of the bars as dark gray. Not applicable to Retro LCD display mode.
