title: Change the Presentation of a Bar Chart
challengeType: 6
forumTopicId: 301481

# --description--
The last challenge created a bar chart, but there are a couple of formatting changes that could improve it:
1) Add space between each bar to visually separate them, which is done by adding a margin to the CSS for the `bar` class
2) Increase the height of the bars to better show the difference in values, which is done by multiplying the value by a number to scale the height
# --instructions--
First, add a `margin` of `2px` to the `bar` class in the `style` tag. Next, change the callback function in the `style()` method so it returns a value `10` times the original data value (plus the `px`).
**Note:** Multiplying each data point by the *same* constant only alters the scale. It's like zooming in, and it doesn't change the meaning of the underlying data.
# --hints--
The first `div` should have a `height` of `120` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(0).css('height') == '120px' &&
$('div').eq(0).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The second `div` should have a `height` of `310` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(1).css('height') == '310px' &&
$('div').eq(1).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The third `div` should have a `height` of `220` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(2).css('height') == '220px' &&
$('div').eq(2).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The fourth `div` should have a `height` of `170` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(3).css('height') == '170px' &&
$('div').eq(3).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The fifth `div` should have a `height` of `250` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(4).css('height') == '250px' &&
$('div').eq(4).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The sixth `div` should have a `height` of `180` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(5).css('height') == '180px' &&
$('div').eq(5).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The seventh `div` should have a `height` of `290` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(6).css('height') == '290px' &&
$('div').eq(6).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The eighth `div` should have a `height` of `140` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(7).css('height') == '140px' &&
$('div').eq(7).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
The ninth `div` should have a `height` of `90` pixels and a `margin` of `2` pixels.
```js
assert(
$('div').eq(8).css('height') == '90px' &&
$('div').eq(8).css('margin-right') == '2px'
);
```
