  I'm evalulating Rad Charts as a possible component for my company and seem to have hit a wall.  Is it possible to have a bar chart, with positive and negative values on the same series and have the x-axis held at zero?  This would be very common in the financial world for say a performance chart.  Some bars go up, some bars go down depending on positive and negative performance buckets.  Am I correct in thinking the product does not currently support this?  
  
  Many thanks,
       Chris Dietz

  Hi Chris,
  
  I am afraid, this is not supported in RadChart for the moment. We have logged your request, but no certain implementation time frame is available for the moment. Your Telerik points have been updated.
  
  Kind regards,

  I would like to cast my vote for this functionality as well!
  
  I have actually been trying to customize the chart to display data similar to this, but flipped on its side.  I.e. think of the "zero line" running up and down the screen (vertically) and negative values extend to the left, and positive values extend to the right. 
  
  I have to think that the desire for this rendering is not uncommon.

  Hi Mark,
  
  Thanks for the feedback. It seems your request includes an additional "horizontal chart" feature. I would encourage everyone to post the axis features they need in this thread, so we can have a clear view on your needs.
  
  Sincerely,

  I would like the ability to have negative values and positive values shown on the x axis along with the Y axis being held at 0 - negative data points would be shown as coming down from the Y axis, positive shown as going up from the Y axis.
  
  I assume this is not supported today?

  Hi Allan,
  
  We are unsure whether we understand correctly the requirements for the proposed functionality -- could you point us to an existing solution that achieves the desired effect so we have better idea how to improve our charting control in the future?
  
  
  All the best,

  Here is what I believe Allan is wanting. (At least it is what I desperately need.)
  Look at the upper-left chart.  Notice that for negative values, the bar drops DOWN from the zero point.

  Hi Tad,
  
  Negative values support as depicted on your screenshot is indeed in our TODO list and is planned as a priority task for the Q3 2009 release later this year.
