Horizontal Bar Chart
--------------------
This example is a bar chart drawn horizontally by putting the quantitative value on the x axis.

    import altair as alt
    from vega_datasets import data

    source = data.wheat()

    alt.Chart(source).mark_bar().encode(
        x='wheat:Q',
        y="year:O"
    ).properties(height=700)
    # No channel encoding options are specified in this chart
    # so the code is the same as for the method-based syntax.
