You can do this by converting the list of lists to a Sequence of
lists by Applying Sequence to the 2 dimensional list.
Here is an example using both BarChart and MultipleListPlot.
In[68]:=
data = Table[ Random[], {4},{6} ]
Out[68]=
{{0.648428, 0.230811, 0.442376, 0.115264, 0.966736,
0.650595}, {0.958428, 0.752209, 0.648651, 0.164096,
0.640159, 0.528314}, {0.892881, 0.928036, 0.557503,
0.928651, 0.87035, 0.261039},
{0.874639, 0.531127, 0.635694, 0.394648, 0.093287,
0.735063}}
In[69]:=
Needs[ "Graphics`Graphics`" ]
In[70]:=
?BarChart
BarChart[list1, list2, ...] generates a bar chart of the
data in the lists.
In[71]:=
?Sequence
Sequence[e1,e2,...] is a special form representing a
sequence of arguments in an expression.
In[72]:=
Apply[ Sequence, data ]
Out[72]=
Sequence[{0.648428, 0.230811, 0.442376, 0.115264, 0.966736,
0.650595}, {0.958428, 0.752209, 0.648651, 0.164096,
0.640159, 0.528314}, {0.892881, 0.928036, 0.557503,
0.928651, 0.87035, 0.261039},
{0.874639, 0.531127, 0.635694, 0.394648, 0.093287,
0.735063}]
In[73]:=
BarChart[ Apply[ Sequence, data ] ]
Out[73]=
-Graphics-
In[74]:=
Needs[ "Graphics`MultipleListPlot`" ]
In[75]:=
MultipleListPlot[ Apply[ Sequence, data ] ,
PlotJoined -> True]
Out[75]=
-Graphics-
I hope this helps.
