@@ -101,4 +101,51 @@ The response is fairly self-explanatory, but it should be noted that the
101101
histogram keys correspond to the lower boundary of the interval. The key `0`
102102
means `0-20,000`, the key `20000` means `20,000-40,000`, etc.

Graphically, you could represent the above data in a histogram like this:
105+
106+
[[barcharts-histo1]]
107+
image::images/300_30_histo1.png["Histogram of top makes per price range"]
108+
109+
Of course, you can build bar charts with any aggregation which emits categories
110+
and statistics, not just the `histogram` bucket. Let's build a bar chart of
111+
popular makes, their average price, and then calculate the standard error
112+
to add error bars on our chart. This will make use of the `terms` bucket
113+
and an `extended_stats` metric:
114+

"aggs": {
120+
"makes": {
121+
"terms": {
122+
"field": "make",
123+
"size": 10
124+

128+
"field": "price"
129+

}
132+

}

}

This will return a list of makes (sorted by popularity) and a variety of statistics
138+
about each. In particular, we are interested in `stats.avg`, `stats.count`,
139+
and `stats.std_deviation`. Using this information, we can calculate the standard error:
140+
141+
................................
142+
std_err = std_deviation / count
143+
................................
144+
145+
Which will allow us to build a chart like this:
146+
147+
[[barcharts-bar1]]
