I would like to compare values for different sensors at a glance. Namely, temperature sensors.
The radialBar could work, but it is relatively complex to judge the interval between values due to its curvature. For instance, if a sensor is just at the begining of the bar, and another at the end with a few more bars in between, it becomes hard to read.
Describe the solution you'd like
Simply add Apex's bar chart type, that display one value on each bar, with the same scale. I believe semantics could be kept similar to other graphs.
Bar charts are generally understood to be superior to other charts for readability, I'd very much like to see them included in this card.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Feel free to expand both sections for screenshot and code.
I tried making an equivalent with columns, but they are really narrow, which wastes a lot of space. I also believe this is slower than just taking the last sensor value from HA.

I also used mini-graph-card to create a similar card, but I like headers and tags from Apex.

I also tried overriding Apex's chart: type: bar, but it didn't seem to work, as it gave me an empty graph.
