Add an animated bar chart to the composition.
Animated vertical bar chart for comparing categories.
Valid props: data, title, xlabel, ylabel, duration, track, gap_before
Invalid props: variant, style, color, theme, animation (these don't exist)
Args:
data: JSON array of {label, value} objects. Optionally include "color" per bar.
Format: [{"label": "Q1", "value": 45}, {"label": "Q2", "value": 67}]
With colors: [{"label": "Q1", "value": 45, "color": "#FF0000"}]
title: Optional chart title
xlabel: Optional x-axis label
ylabel: Optional y-axis label
duration: How long to animate (seconds) or time string
track: Track name (default: "main")
gap_before: Gap before component in seconds or time string
Returns:
JSON with component info
Example:
await remotion_add_bar_chart(
data='[{"label": "Q1", "value": 45}, {"label": "Q2", "value": 67}, {"label": "Q3", "value": 89}]',
