  Hello,
  
  RadChart is a great control, with many cool features.
  
  However, I have a couple of questions when using it with the Bar Type:
  
  1. Is there any possibility to remove the space that exists between the bars? (I would like to have the bars attached one to another).
  
  2. Can I affect the width of the bars, without using the Width property of the RadChart control? (now I'm adding the item bars programmatically and I'm re-dimensioning the entire chart by multiplying the no. of items by 10px (assuming I want that I want to give a bar the width of 10px)).
  
  Thanks.

  Hi Lucian,
  
  Onto your questions:
  

  1. You can use series.Appearance.BarWidthPercent property to control this. Here is an example:

     <telerik:RadChart ID="RadChart1" runat='server'>

     <Series>

     <telerik:ChartSeries Name="Series 1">

     <Appearance BarWidthPercent="100"></Appearance>

     <Items>

     ...................

  2. Unfortunately, there is no other way to fix the bar width. It is calculated according to the plot area width and the number of X axis items (this corresponds to the number of bars if zero values are considered an empty bar). You can use values in pixels for the plot area Margins, so adding 10 px to the chart width for each item will actually increase the PlotArea width with 10 px, and this will keep the bars with the same width.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi vipin vishwakarma,
  
  I am afraid the attachment did not make it for some reason. Can you please try to attach the screenshot again as well as any markup and/or code-behind used to configure the chart. Thank you.

  I have a similar problem with overlapping stacked columns.
  I tried settings values for mySeries.Appearance.BarWidthPercent  from 1 to 100.
  I causes no effect on the column widths.
  
  I would like to widths of the columns to reduce as the series data increases.
  
  Please help
  Thanks

  Hello,
  
  Please, set the RadChart.Appearance.BarWidthPercent property in this case.
